“It seems Oracle is hellbent on destroying whatever good Sun had
done to the Open Source Ecosystem. The latest product to get the
axe seems to be none other than the Flagship Virtualization program
xVM VirtualBox.“Ever since VirtualBox 3.2 was released (the first version to
officially carry Oracle banding), VBox has been on a downhill ride.
While the much-hyped Virtualization of Mac OS X Server works only
on a Mac OS X host (there are ways of working around that
limitation), virtualization support for almost all existing OSes
seems to have gone south drastically.”
