I've done quite a bit of work over the past year with PC-hosted Linux (Ubuntu) VMs under VMWare Player, mainly for Android work. I got so fed up recently with the poor system integration (poor Mouse and Keyboard transitioning when moving to/from host and the VM, no copy/paste between Windows and the VM, limited support for VM desktop resizing, not easy to share file data between host and VM), that I decided to spend some time looking at VirtualBox.
After a day evaluating, I've now moved entirely to VirtualBox! I was even able to (easily) set-up 64-bit VMs running on 32-bit Windows, which was very handy; and it was simple to set-up a shared file area between host and VM.
I haven't yet tried VirtualBox on Mac, but I'm perfectly happy with Parallels 5 at the moment so haven't felt the need to use anything else on Mac...
