Oracle VM available for download

Announced on monday, Oracle VM is now available for download. Oracle VM is touted as three time faster than the competition, but this claim is taken with a grain of salt. With the availability of the software, performance tests are now possible. Oracle is heavily pushing its own virtualisation solution against competitors, only supporting its products running in virtualised environments if it is virtualised with Oracle VM.
Guest operating system supported by Oracle VM are several versions of Oracle Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows. Note however that Windows runs significantly slower than on a physical machine, and that Oracle is working on Windows drivers to improve the situation.
