    I was curious to try Virtual Box. Went to install it. Nearly done when a big old dialog comes up warning me of impending doom if I continue because it's (the drivers it uses presumably) not Windows Logo certified. Do I want to continue? Hmm, look around online a bit, and sure enough the VirtualBox guys have known of this since *at least* 2008, and from the response to the bug submission it sounds like the awareness of the problem dates back even further. So a quick check of the VB page indicates the project is still active - Sun made multiple releases in late 2009, with all sorts of features. So boom, I stop the installation. Why? If you've got enough time to add all sorts of features to your product, but you can't be bothered to insure the installation of it goes smoothly and correctly (and if that means getting drivers signed then so be it), don't expect me to waste my time on it. What a bunch of tossers.

    Does anyone have any experience with Parallels Desktop[^]? It's a chargeable product, but as has already been stated, I'm happy to pay for a stable product. I've downloaded the trial and about to get to grips with it, but just wondered if anyone else has tried it? [edit] Ah, just found the forum threads regarding Parallels. [/edit]
