Notes on Life, ‘Puters and Hawaii

Dear VMWare, So Long and Thanks for all the Fish

I downloaded and gave VirtualBox a twirl this week.  For those of you who haven’t heard of it, VirtualBox is a drop-in free and open source replacement for VMWare Fusion or Parallels.  Did I mention it’s open source and free?  Here’s the subversion repository.

Update 4/24/2008: I purchased VMWare Fusion last year and my rebate check never came.  Peter contacted me and made sure my rebate was on the way.  There’s nothing wrong with VMWare. It’s a fine tool. I just always have a leaning towards open source where ever possible.

  1. Tim,

    I’m sorry to hear about your bad rebate experience. If you’d like to email me, i’ll make sure that you get taken care of.

    Best,
