[OKC JUG] Fwd: [jug-leaders] FLASH - Interested in Virtualization Software? 15 min till live webcast of Sun xVM launch; links provided

[Jason Lee]

Someone here might be interested in this.  I've been running some VMs  
using VirtualBox 1.6 for a while now, and it has been really nice.   
Performs well, easy to use, etc.  I just upgraded to 2.0, so, beyond  
the new native-Mac L&F for the app, I can't make any comparisons.

If you're interested in virtualization, this might be worth your  
time.  Oh! While you're at it, buy some support! ;)
