Performance of Virtualbox is slower than VMware solutions and products.

wow, I didn't expect so many responses!
anyhow, yes i know vmware is a seperate company from Microsoft, I was looking for microsoft's "version" of vmware and i get the impression that xpmode is pretty much it.
it reminds me of vmplayer - which i actually like vmplayer better.
so I guess i'll either keep xpmode, or think about using vmplayer.
thanks for the help
VMware player actually can look for XP mode, and then convert it to VMware Player. So if you install the player on your system where XP mode is already installed, you can after that use the XP VM that XP mode installed under VMware Player.
