Recommend virtual machine software?

[luffy]

I have tried VMware Workstation. I don't like it, the computer takes so much time to boot and shut down.
I'm planning to try VMware Player. I head VirtualBox is pretty good. I don't really need so many feature. I refer a lite VM.
What virtual machine do you recommend?

Here here, fully agree with evilfantasy.

VirtualBox is all I use and for good reason: it's the best of the best!

that's just a rebranded virtualbox ose, see the other thread where we discussed this

I don't really need so many feature.

what do you mean? virtualbox gui has only common options, if you don't use console there's not too many feature...

I don't like it, the computer takes so much time to boot and shut down.

if you install vmware player you shouldn't notice difference in boot and shutdown time bcoz player it is based on vmware workstation, meaning it installs ~same processes, services... but i did not tried latest 3.x
