What type 2 hypervisor provides the best performance (particularly in the UI smoothness department) for a Windows host with a Linux guest?
I use Hyper-V but I don't have xorg installed in the guest and only use ssh to connect to it.

I was under the impression that Hyper-V was more server/enterprise oriented and didn't have the features one would expect for desktop virtualization/testing/development. I also thought that it was a Type 1 hypervisor. How does that work, then?
For guest graphical performance vmware beats virtualbox. I prefer vbox itself but running a DE inside it is just painful compared to vmware which runs smooth as silk.
VMWare. VirtualBox is okay though.
VMWare

Vbox is ok but VMWare is better, besides it's not that hard to find a working key online.

Seems pretty fleshed out to me, I haven't tried the graphics stuff but all the drivers are mainline in the Linux kernel so I figured it was worth a shot.
My only real complaint was that I couldn't pass usb devices to it.
VMware.
They're all pretty shit. If your looking for performance seriously consider a type 1 hypervisor with PCI passthrough.
