Here is something which I noticed immediately:
- VMware Unity is far better than VirtualBox Seamless. Unity actually integrates windows in the guest and host OS pretty well - a single task bar for all windows and alt+tab switches between all the windows. Not with VirtualBox. VirtualBox Seamless seems to be a feature added for the sake of list of features, but is actually useless while VMware's Unity is actually useful.
- VMware supports 3D graphics. Aero works in the guest OS. In fact, Windows Experience Index of the host OS and guest OS is very close.
- Snapshot and clone management is pretty slick in VMware .
- My initial experience is that VMware is much faster than VirtualBox - starting, stopping, running.
- Virtual network management is quite good in VMware .
- Single window for all VMs in VMware.
- VMware stores everything about one VM in a single directory which is very convenient for backing up or copying to another machine.
- VMware has a cool feature called "Easy Install" where it will install the guest OS unattended - another very useful feature.
