Virtual Box screen shot

With the leas of my new MacBookPro, I have created the perfect facilitator toolbox.  I have just spent the morning installing Sun’s Virtual Box onto the machine.  I have created a 50GB partition and have allocated 1GB of RAM to a Windows virtual machine.  I am now able to work in any environment and work on the OS that the client is familiar with.  I now have to install the Windows based Open Source programs that I want to work with as well as install the Mac variants.  One thing that I do have to find are the Windows drivers for the Mac’s wireless adapter, at the moment I am ‘blind’ on the Windows partition unless I am connected to the Internet via a LAN cable.
