Which is fine; it's an enterprise-class virtualization product (e.g. VMware ESX Server) not a desktop virtualization product (VMware Workstation/Fusion). I guess it might be possible to dual-boot ones workstation and have Oracle VM be one of the boot options, but I don't know for sure.

Not sure what you mean by “install from bare metal”, care to clarify?

The other knock on Oracle VM for desktop sandboxes (for me, anyway, with my single-machine lifestyle) is that whole “install from bare metal” thing. :-)
