Overall Satisfaction with Oracle VM VirtualBox
We use Oracle VM VirtualBox to run several virtual machines built with different operating systems. For example, we have legacy software that requires Windows XP to run. For this we have a Windows XP virtual machine that we run through Oracle VM VirtualBox.
Pros
- Interface to system ports (USB, ethernet, com)
- Ability to change storage dynamically
- Ability to set up a saved storage space to share files between virtual machine and host system
Cons
- Adding legacy ports such as LPT require a script that is run via a command prompt. It would be easier to have this enabled through main window interface.
- Positive impact with my company as it has allowed us to run a vital legacy software program requiring Windows XP OS
