Comment on An Oracle branded VirtualBox Released - Oracle aren't going to kill this project

Comments

The Mac OS X support is cool and I would love to be able to run older OS X versions in a VM, but it looks like they've still got quite a bit of work before it is really usable. Issues include:

"Even when idle, OS X guests currently burn 100% CPU. This is a power management issue that will be addressed in a future release."

Ah, I was wondering why it was doing that! :-) Other than that, though, OS X under this version is pretty snappy given the circumstances.
