For Virtualization VirtualBox is our choice. VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. A big advantage for us is the possibility to fully control the virtual machine on the command line. The console can easily be accessed using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Specially for Apple and Linux users it is not required to have a Windows machine to manage the host.
