Our confusion I think is because we are talking about different products. I wasn't aware of the stand-alone free version of hyper-v server, thanks for the pointer. The Server 2008 Standard Edition version of Windows comes with a license to run a single VM. If you can follow the maze and find offical documentation of this, you've got farther than me, but here's a third party link indicating the situation. http://www.netometer.com/video/tutorials/microsoft-hyper-v-server-2008/ > It is a sure thing.

Are you talking about the guest additions or whatever Oracle calls them now? That doesn't necessarily speed up the VM, it just allows things like clock synchronization, SMB shares, VRPD, page fusion, and USB passthrough. As far as I know, while they are released under PUEL license you can't even buy them so it's hard to see how Oracle is raking in the money there. I see there is a blurb on their site about contacting Oracle for enterprise rollouts. I think as soon as they figure out how they can bill they will. At one point, Virtualbox was going to setup a "cloud" service that you could roll out images too and I think that's now defuct so another lost revenue stream. That actually would have been really nice, I would have used that one. > VirtualBox's main claim to fame is under FreeBSD it is stable.
