I unfortunately have to do the bulk of my development work in Windows even
though its all J2EE. So I keep linux as my host OS and run XP in virtual
machine for the coding/testing.
I used to use vmware server but it seemed like their drivers would always
fail to compile and I would get some strange kernel panics. I've switched
over to virtualbox. It runs smoother, I've yet to have a problem with a
kernel upgrade, and the seamless mode is great.

Have you considered running ESXi and all of the operating systems you
need on top of it? Compatibility (apart from hardware) should not be an
issue in such a setup and performance would be better if you require
multiple virtual machines running at the same time. If you
intermittently need a few virtual machines, then Virtualbox is
certainly a great solution as I use it too.<br>
