I wonder if there's a replacement for VirtualBox? I need something
that will allow me to share a directory between host and virtual

dual-screen system

would work I'd switch, I think. As for my friend, he would need far
more features I guess (I don't know what though).

Virtualbox has shared folders (directory) as well as shared Clipboard.
You just need to install Guest Additions in the Guest OS to enable it.
I use both all the time.

VB has a lot of other features.  Just read the manual.

I know, I use the shared folders and clipboard in VirtualBox all the time. But with the way Oracle seems to be going with things, what if someone wants to switch *away* from VirtualBox and use something else? What other VM systems have these same features (which I really need)?
