Something to be aware of WRT VirtualBox. The VM doesn't have a true clock so VirtualBox has "client code" which updates the guest's clock periodically... but in-between updates the clock can be very far off. Not sure to what degree this can be adjusted.
This seems to have gotten significantly worse in VirtualBox 3.0. This occurs to some degree with all Virtual Machine managers... but the problem has gotten significantly more severe in 3.0 OTOH, it appears to work extremely well in all other respects. I'm stressing it on Ubuntu running Vista (ugh) and its been very solid. -glenn On Aug 12, 11:58 am, Harald Schilly <harald.schi...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Aug 12, 8:04 pm, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > At this point VirtualBox is like a massive breath of fresh air > > compared to vmware.... > > ... and don't forget, virtualbox has a python API.
