qvm86 is obsolete
Item posted by Paul Brook <pbrook> on Sun 21 Jan 2007 04:16:21 PM UTC.
InnoTek have released their VirtualBox code under the GPL.
As far as I'm concerned this obsoletes qvm86, and I see no point continuing development. I recommend anyone interested in qvm86 use VirtualBox instead.

Star vs Openoffice had the same problem.

Ease of use for ordinary users.

Prolly but let's notice it's not a win-win situation here.

This sounds like a good incentive to continue work on qvm86 and get a completely free, efficient VM :)
