xVM VirtualBox.

“Ever since VirtualBox 3.2 was released (the first version to
officially carry Oracle banding), VBox has been on a downhill ride.

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.”
