- Ability to easily share/access host resources; allows for development work on the host machine that can be easily transferred to the guest machines and vice versa.
- Advanced bootup/bios options allow for a custom deployment scenario, test platform.
- Full product and all options are free to use, unlimited.
- Very small installation footprint and memory use.
- Interface is clean, but could be more sleek.
- Guest systems need to be shutdown in order to make edit any resources. This can be a bit disruptive. Not ideal for Production environments.
- The add-on extensions can be a bit confusing and need to be updated separately. They should be bundled together with the main application to ease updates and keep current.
Not necessarily the best option for production system as it is riding on another host. I prefer to have bare-metal hypervisor for reliability and less chance of corruption of host platform.

- Able to consolidate four low-risk servers onto a single host server, reduced our power footprint significantly, and set us on the path to virtualization.
- Quickly spin up multiple dev/test environment without looking for physical servers. This has saved us on many occasions.
- It is a free software, incredibly reliable, the ROI can only be positive.

Love at first install
- I did not have to install the operating systems to evaluate them
- I could run two or more instances of these operating systems concurrently
- Oracle made it simple to start and stop the virtual machines and also save the state so as to continue where I left off
- Oracle should find a way to put sound on these operating systems without having to download guest OS add-ons
- When putting a flash, Oracle should pick that the flash has been inserted to the new OS and not have to go back and add it to the filters
