KVM? I must admit I haven't even heard of it, except if you are talking about switchboxes;-)
Can it be configured to run an actual Windows partition? (This is how I use VirtualBox today.)
Note that the article there is very out of date, but there is a link at the top to a more current article.
yes, you can run a windows VM rather nicely.
It can run a Windows VM,
The question wasn't whether it can run Windows, but whether it can be set up to use a Windows *partition*. As in a system originally set up to run natively, and not through a virtual machine.
but, at least in my experience, a Windows, or actually, even a Linux with GUI, doesn't run as well as it does with VirtualBox.
OK.
I sort of got the impression from other posters that it would actually work better than VirtualBox...
In addition, bridged networking takes a bit of work to setup--not very difficult once you're familiar with it, but it's done with a mouse click as it is in VirtualBox.
On the plus side, it seems (not thoroughly tested on my part) to be less resource intensive than VBox, and better at sharing resources.
I see...
