Hi Paul,

I made the mistake of using VB with an enterprise level database and
VB corrupted the database.  The customer, my largest customer,
eventually fired me over it.  VB is a toy.  I should have known better.

KVM, on the other hand, has Red Hat behind it.  I can not see the issues
I have/had with VB not being fixed instantly.  In my experience, Oracle
could care less.
