I've been mainly a PC/Windows user for many years, but I provide technical support for Macs so I keep a G4 Powerbook for testing purposes. But now I've decided to buy a MacBook and make that my primary day-to-day working system. However, I still need to run Windows programs and I want to be able to switch b/t Windows & Mac OS X without having to reboot each time. So I am considering downloading and installing Sun's Virtualbox in order run a virtualized Windows XP session. I'm thinking Vitualbox since it's free for the taking.
My question is if there are compelling reasons to pay up for a commercial solution like Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion? I may want to install Ubuntu Linux and possibly FreeBSD on my MacBook as well. I'd almost certainly go with VMWare, i've got it installed on my Macbook at present, running two version of Windows (XP and Server2003) 4 different linux distros (ubuntu, redh, bt3&4) and i've never had any problems with it. Full screen & unity mode are particularly useful when you want to run both XP and OS X at the same time I find, other things like assigning different ammounts of RAM and Disk Space to each virtual machine is also very handy. Similar to yourself, some of the tools and programs I use for my CS University course require me to use either XP or Linux and having them all on hand in one need 'Virtual Server' folder as opposed to multiple partitions on your hard drive.
If you need any further advice on VMWare, ask away and ill be happy to answer them. Virtual Box has greatly evolved since its beginning, and the latest version is really great, but it has one little big problem, it's 3D drivers are much weaker than the concorrence and doesn´t support the majory of the apps including Windows Aero per example. Parallels, tried version 4, I think that it has too much special effects and its network drivers are a little intrusive, it has less performance than vmware. VMWare fusion is great, good network drivers, lots of OS support, good 3D Drivers, great performance, etc. Tried All, VMWare for me is the best. Thanks to everyone for their comments.

I was reading the reviews on Amazon.com for Parallels Desktop 5 and they were all very positive, in contrast to the comments I've gotten here. The reviews seemed almost too good, like maybe some were written by employees of the company. I have downloaded & installed Virtualbox to run Windows XP.
Seems to work well, except that I only have 2 gigs of RAM on my MacBook and I seem to be getting a lot of beach ball timer action, so I will need to upgrade to 4 gigs of RAM. I will eventually need to install Vista & possibly Windows 7 also, but I don't know that I care about whether I have Aero or not. 'In the majority of overall averages of our tests, Parallels Desktop is the clear winner running 14-20% faster than VMware Fusion.
The one exception is for those that need to run Windows XP, 32-bit on 2 virtual processors, VMware Fusion runs about 10% faster than Parallels Desktop. And, while both products these days have very little CPU footprint, Parallels Desktop had a surprisingly small RAM footprint, which was actually typically lower than the amount of RAM configured for the virtual machine. Presumably, once Windows actually needed more of the allocated RAM, the actual footprint on the Mac would increase. Finally, for gamers, experiences will differ with each game. In our tests, MacBook users will have a better experience with Parallels Desktop, presumably because of the lower end graphics capabilities of the hardware.'
