VirtualBox is a fantastic piece of software. Just because it's not perfect, doesn't mean it's garbage. Far from it.


The VirtualBox software (as in the UI, etc) is great, however this article/mail listing is discussing the 'vboxdrv' Linux kernel module, which is a source of a large number of bug reports to the Linux kernel project.


Maybe there are so many bug reports because so many people use it?


Maybe you should read the article to learn what he specific issue being discussed is.


"Garbage" is programmer speak for "has some serious bugs that need attention before it can be considered high-quality software".
