How would you compare the two products, what are the strengths and weaknesses of each? Which one do you prefer?

Zhiqiang Ma, OCT 12, 2012 AT 10:01 AM
On Linux platforms from my own experience, VMWare player delivers better performance than VirtualBox. However, VirtualBox is easier to setup/upgrade/etc. Considering the higher performance of PCs, I like VirtualBox more.
