While I agree that VMware's ESX and (free) ESXi solutions are killer, I can't seem to justify the price of target="_blank">VMware Workstation when Sun's Virtual Box is free, open source, full featured, super speedy and rock solid. Matt doesn't agree.
Matt wouldn't agree with my assessment, but he doesn't write the show notes so I'll just go ahead and link to this totally unbiased comparison.
