    VMware or VirtualBox?

    Hello,
    I am running Windows Vista 32 and I am a little tired of rebooting my pc when I use my linux.
    So I think to test a virtualization solution to pass easily from one to another and also (why not) try Mac OS X (I had a mac but it goes back to ancient times: lol

    What do you think? VMware Workstation or VirtualBox?

    Where can I find them?

    Thank you in advance

    You can not virtualize Mac OS X anyway
    Otherwise, memory, VMware was much more efficient, at least on OS X, but I am not familiar with VirtualBox

    Why not? OS X is built at the base from Unix, Linux ...

    Mainly for licensing, and Mac OS X requires a EFI, not a BIOS

    No, OS X is Unix, unlike Linux: D (but anyway, even if the command line interface and the file system is similar, kernels, the model of driver and the rest of interface have nothing to do)
