 This negative review has a lot of positive comments that are informative,
 http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/01/a-quick-look-at-
 virtualbox-21.ars#comments, and suggest a closer look, especially for
 Windows and Linux hosts.

 I've been using both Vista32 and Ibex32 hosts for '''''VirtualBox
 2.1.2''''' quite successfully with SoaS.  They are a lot less heavy weight
 compared to the VMWare I was running in Vista32.

 I would recommend that VirtualBox be seriously considered for Windows and
 Linux hosts and monitored further for OS X hosts.

 See http://schools.sugarlabs.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27 for recent
 efforts, and http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick_VirtualBox for a
 wiki page.
