Hi Nico,

   There is truth in what you say.  Things on this front are
getting better all the time.  Spice is getting better too.  The
rate of development in dizzying too.

Be careful of Virtual box.  It is a toy.  It also cost me
my largest customer.  I am still really pissed at the way
Oracle treated me and this problem.  *It cost me dearly*,
as in tens of thousands of dollars of income:

My option and experience: only use Virtual Box as a toy.
No mission critical stuff.
