Bossie 2010 winner: VirtualBox

VirtualBox, a project acquired by Sun and now managed by Oracle, is an x86-64 host-based virtualization product that runs on a Windows, Linux, Mac OS X (Intel), and Solaris. Its wide range of supported guests, superb hardware support (including systems with or without Intel VT-x and AMD-V), USB support, OpenGL 2.0 graphics support, and zippy speed make it a standout. Windows 7 users might prefer Windows Virtual PC's tighter integration with the Windows desktop, which allows it to launch virtualized apps directly from the host. But for technical users on any platform, VirtualBox is a serious alternative to VMware Workstation and Parallels Desktop.
