My favorite neighborhood in London

Having just returned from London, I want to mention how much I love South Kensington. Though I have some personal reasons for liking the neighborhood, I also think it's a great area for tourists and business travelers. There is a perfect balance of being in the center of everything yet still possessing plenty of neighborhood charms.

VirtualBox

Has anyone tried the Sun's VirtualBox Virtual Server? It's a fantastic product, dubbed one of the best VM solutions you've never heard of.

I downloaded the product tonight from http://www.virtualbox.org/ and found it very easy to install and use. Compared to VMware server, VirtualBox has some nice features, for example, the wizard walking you through the virtual machine creation process is very logically designed, and the product is free.
