I have used VirtualBox on a linux host with WinXP as the client operating system for about three years, every day. I depend on it for work and have found it to be rock-solid and completely dependable. I really appreciate the contributors to the project. They deserve some love!

Same anecdote: fulltime dev for 3 years using multiple windows guests on Linux host running Vbox (only switching to host occasionally). Linux box never crashes. I and a coworker (using windows on windows 95% of time in guest) love VirtualBox.

But no arguments if those with real data flag driver as SHIT - a crash rate of o. I am just thankful that I have never had any crashes.
