I had been making do with VMWare Fusion 5, so it truly refused to work on Yosemite. (I also had Parallels 8 at home, which refused to work).
Hopefully the upgrades will be only necessary every two years.
Stability problems with VirtualBox are very real. I haven't touched that for years.

- acdha 11y agoUntil at least a couple of years ago, it was common for it to cause kernel panics if running during a sleep/wake cycle or when exercising the GPU. I used to work with a couple of people who used it and they'd have an unplanned coffee break at least once a week.
- 72deluxe 11y agoUnder Snow Leopard (yes it was that long ago) it would frequently kernel panic so I stopped using it. I have never had VMware kernel panic on me; Parallels has crashed once or twice but never kernel panicked. I did use VirtualBox for running Windows 95 the other month though. I am not complaining about VirtualBox or advising against its use, just I had some issues on OSX. Under Windows and Linux it ran fine, just OSX was dodgy for me.
