For Mac users out there who want to run Windows programs frequently, Boot Camp does not really cut it because it requires a restart to get into Windows.  Parallels and VMware Fusion both allow you to run Windows apps in Mac OS X seamlessly.  Those two programs solve the issue of constantly restarting, but they are also rather pricey (at least they are too expensive for my budget).  For those people, there is another option: VirtualBox.  VirtualBox works the same way as Parallels and VMware Fusion and has most of the same features as well.  The main thing it lacks is the price tag.  I have not used VirtualBox myself, but I have found a comprehensive tutorial on how to set it up for your Mac.  Follow the link after the jump.
