Corel still exists?! Good for them!

They seem to have pulled the Corel logo down some time this year. That makes me a little sad, as it was always one of those little landmarks that reminded me I was almost home when I lived in downtown Ottawa.
I just started using a Mac this year, and I need to run Linux and Windows for testing reasons. I'm starting to do more freelance work now, so I'll have some Windows-focused work as well. Right now I have separate machines for each OS, but I'd like to just use a Mac and get rid of my other machines. I've played with Virtualbox, but I haven't used Parallels or VMWare. Does this acquisition make Parallels any more or le…

I use VirtualBox myself. I started out using Parallels at first, but can't see having to continually pay to upgrade, especially when I'm mainly using Linux images although I do run a copy of Windows periodically. VirtualBox is free and supported by Oracle.

One of the first Linux distributions I tried (after the venerable Slackware) was the short-lived Corel Linux way back in 1999 or thereabouts.
I installed Corel Linux on the family computer when I was 13. It was my first Linux distribution. Someone from school got the disc out of a magazine if I remember correctly. I couldn't get the modem to work and the installer didn't add a boot option for the Windows 98 partition (LILO bootloader), so my family was understandably pretty pissed off. I ended up figuring out how to restore the Windows MBR, and eventually…

I (used to?) own a student license for Parallels Desktop circa 2012, though it may have expired by now. In my experience, I could see no major differences between their solution and, say, Virtualbox. There were some Mac-specific features like working well with Exposé when in Seamless mode and a few other UI niceties, but Parallels seems primarily geared towards supporting Windows. Linux Guest OS support of features l…
What software were you running inside the VM? Parallels performance is good enough I can actually play a lot of games, which was amazing to me after years with Virtualbox.
TBH, even for simple stuff like Internet Explorer, I'm surprised you didn't notice a performance difference.
With Oracle at the realm of VirtualBox and now this, it’s not a pretty landscape.
I hope I’m wrong though.

What people are learning, though, is that nothing from Oracle is ever really free, it's simply deferring time evaluating licensing terms and legal costs into the future.
