walterius's previous post was like this :

Give me definition of better.....

I use both.
VPC may have better support for Win OSs.
E.g. installing W2KPro in VPC was much easier for me.

VBox has USB support.
( closed source version only , said due licencing matters )

Vbox has better support for non Windows OS,
and is multiplatform.

VPC support only 32bit guests.
Vbox supposrt 64bit guests, if CPU has
HW virtualization support ( e.g. C2D E6xxx ).
It can even support 64bit guest on 32bit host.

The best choice is such a choice,
that causes the least number of people
to complain it is NOT the best choice.
