    OK, somewhat related question ... what are the current workable options for virtualization?

    I've used VMWare at home for years. Virtual box, being Oracle, isn't necessarily something I'm interested in.

    Anybody got a link to something which covers the current state of virtualization stuff suitable for home use?

    Does it even need to be said anymore when it applies to commercial products? Not to be the guy with the tinfoil had or anything, but given that Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Yahoo etc etc have cooperated with the NSA (not much choice) why would Oracle not also be a part of that? I will still use VBox for my little uninteresting personal needs. Maybe a nice Hi NSA motd or desktop wallpaper.
