virtualbox

VirtualBox and the snapshot creation tool to revert changes to your preferred state while testing recipes in seconds.

From the context, he starts virtualbox for coding and running his code, not for mail client and excel.

VirtualBox is a pretty good way to introduce someone to Linux without being a dick about it.

I meant I use VirtualBox only for my development environment and everything else is on the host OS.

I ended up downloading a plugin to take VirtualBox snapshots of my VM and even that was depressingly slow.

It's not actually very portable at all it seems (on my Mac I'd have to run it inside VirtualBox).

It's akin to running multiple VMs on one physical machine, but without using tools like VMWare or VirtualBox to manage the networking aspects.

And use a different machine for private stuff, running VirtualBox in Debian.

Just booted over to Windows 10, and VirtualBox appears to work fine.

I'm getting a not supported error about upgrading to Windows 10 when inside 8.1 in VirtualBox.

If they're using VirtualBox isn't this just a Hyper version of boot2docker?

It looks like VirtualBox didn't bother to take advantage of that window.
