Free (OSS) Virtual Machine Software - VirtualBox

I was exposed to an interesting product from innotek called VirtualBox. If you like MS VPC or VMWare, check this one out. It's free, it's not bad (so far I was just playing with it installing Windows XP and running some applications on a quiet slow host machine). Would love to hear others comments on this one, or any other alternative that is welcomed.

Apparently its one of the fastest , a friend has created his thesis based on it so he had to do alot of research into it.

I tried it with one version and it had troubles mapping a real drive/folder inside the VM, it didnt work well with in built CPU techology specified for VMs but i think its fixed in the latest versions.

I have been playing around with the latest VirtualBox version 1.5.6, It seems to work really well. The one thing it does not seem to have is a network bridge. I have been a VMware user for some time now, but I have now went to VirtualBox, great piece of software.
