xVM VirtualBox

Success!

I have OpenSolaris 2008.11, Ubuntu 8.0r LTS, and XP Professional sp2 running on xVM VirtualBox on top of OSX 10.5.6.

I would recommend you fully patch XP before attempting to install the Guest Additions. I didn't do this and had some annoying display problems initially. After fully patching, I installed the Guest Additions and everything now works flawlessly.

The seamless mode works great so it is bye bye to Parallels, xVM is now my vm solution of choice on my mac.

Next to test is Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and XP Pro sp2 as host systems.
