Sun VirtualBox - Free, Powerful Virtualization

,----[ Quote ]
| As a whole, VirtualBox is a simple-looking 
| application. On the main screen, as seen 
| above, there's a VM list to the left, and 
| detailed information on the respective VM 
| you've clicked on to the right. There's 
| nothing much complicated here, and if you were 
| judging the application simply by this screen, 
| you'd likely imagine it's not too powerful, 
| but what an understatement that would be.

Microsoft to sing at EC Oracle hearing

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft will testify to the European
| Commission later this week in the ongoing
| debate on whether the Eurocrats will bless
| Oracle's Sun-acquisition plans.
|
| A Microsoft spokesperson told ZDNet that
| Redmond "can confirm participation at the
| hearing and that the company has previously
| responded to inquiry from the Commission
| about the deal." The hearing will be held
| this Thursday and Friday in Brussels.
|
| Exactly what Microsoft will tell the
| Commission, however, is far from clear. As
| ZDNet notes, The Wall Street Journal reports
| that both Microsoft and SAP "have already
| told antitrust regulators they oppose the
| merger."
