After using primarily Virtualbox(also VMWare), it is much easier to setup VM's in Win 8 than win7 with virtualbox, which in and of itself is a miracle. Didnt really expect Win 8 to play friendly with non-MS distros in a VM natively but IT DOES!!! Next test will be Solaris and whatever the hell the Apple virus company is calling their OS now!
