How does this compare to MS virtual server and Vmware?

 

[Deleted member 6068]

Does it use virtual hardware like Vmware or does it use the actual hardware in ur pc eg. If u have an 8800 Gts it uses that an not some emulated cyrix gfx

 

[ChrissyT88]

Its just like VMware - emulated hardware.

Nice, installed it and am giving it a run now. I must admit i'm a bit of a vmware fan but this virtualbox is great software.

I have used virtual PC was very impressed with it but is it normal for virtual box to takes ages to install an OS?

I am putting Vista 64 on an Xp 64 machine and it has been going on for well over the hour and a half mark.
