Virtualbox is apparently not Virtualsuck
I have gotten further with VirtualBox than I did with Parallels. Woohoo! It does seem to light my 3.0 GHz Core Duo on fire though, so I’m wondering if things would work out better had I configured the virtual machine to use both CPU cores as opposed to one.
I also discovered an annoying Ubuntu/Compiz papercut bug, in which compiz disables the ability to switch workspaces by scrolling mousewheel over the window switcher applet. Boo! Its also been open since about 2007, so I’m hoping somebody fixes it for 10.04. I miss my mousewheel!
