Hi, I confirm also this claim: FreeBSD 10.1 in Virtualbox is very
stable and works very well as workstation: vtnet  net driver works at
the same level as the native Windows drivers in terms of speed and
stability, and at I/O level I do not notice much difference with the
Windows native performance. X window system, with virtualbox driver
also performs very well with no problem at all. Clipboard sharing also
works as expected, etc etc. The host operating system is Windows 7 64
bits, 8GB RAM, core I5. I am very happy with this scenario, as I have
the best of the two worlds: Windows and FreeBSD (yes, Windows has some
specifics advantages in some corporate environments). And I am not an
ocassional user: I run the combo Windows 7 + Virtualbox  + FreeBSD
every day in my company. Only I have suffered some sporadic issues,
but almost never FreeBSD related but Virtualbox related (and fixed
very soon by VirtualBox upstream, though).
