Extensively evaluated Vmware player vs virtual box for Ubuntu 14.04 desktop on W8.1 on my Thinkpad. Vmware might be a touch faster but too many things are broken - touchpad scrolling doesn't work - requires hacks to get this running ineffectively. Suspend and resume doesn't work..etc. Went back to Virtualbox since the experience is smoother.
