I’ve been playing around a little bit with the MacOS X port of Virtual Box, and it looks really promising. Speed-wise it runs quite OK, I couldn’t tell wether or not it’s on par with VMWare Fusion. But I’ve had small problems with the keyboard (couldn’t get the alt and command keys to work right) and the “desktop resolution resizing” when in windowed mode.

Following these instrucions,  I’ve made a small shell-script that converts a .vmdk disk image file from VMWare to a .vdi one for Virtual Box. It should detect the OS (Mac or Linux) and warn you in case you miss some of the dependencies (QEMU ‘s qemu-img and Virtual Box‘s vditool). It can be downloaded here:
