I love VirtualBox. Its allowed me to test on various platforms all from my Mac. Kudos also to Oracle for continuing with its development - I was concerned that it wouldn't be, so I'm pleased to have been proved wrong!
- cookiecaper 16y agoI don't know that you should be so sure. I definitely expect Oracle to attempt to monetize VBox to a greater extent, which to Oracle generally means not-open-source, at least not open-source development processes. Sun is a large acquisition to digest and I'm sure they still have more on the docket for Sun's properties, including VBox. Just because they haven't destroyed it yet doesn't mean they're not planning to. This may also be the logic of the developers trying hard to drive external development, so that a fork can live on after Oracle takes it closed.
