I wonder what are its benefits in comparison to an OSS solution https://github.com/mist64/xhyve Here's the link to the previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9690846

My understanding is that xhyve isn't a "click and go" solution for most users.

Also, Veertu Desktop is now free: https://github.com/veertuinc/vdhh

The README indicates that repo is not for the entire product, just part of it: “Veertu Desktop Hosted Hypervisor(VDHH) is the core hypervisor platform for Veertu Desktop product." “… but to achieve full set of features, it have to be launched by Veertu Desktop app.”

Yeah that part threw me too, but their website does say:

"We are making Veertu Desktop Open source. It will be available on https://github.com/veertuinc/vdhh and will continue to be developed and maintained."

Maybe a wording issue in the README, and the desktop app is intended to be open source and built from (the|another) repo too?

Hi, currently the hupervisor was opensourced, we are looking to open the ui and the vagrant plugin as well, the reason we didnt put the ui in that project was that wr beleived ot would be cleaner for the opensource community to have cli hypervisor project. the only part we might have issue to opensource is our windows drivers

Izik, now that you open-sourced it, why don't you say that it is based on QEMU? Everybody knew it was, and anybody could have asked Apple to pull your app from the store. It would be nice if you guys showed some appreciation for the fact that QEMU developers didn't do that right away.

We will be happy to give credit, let me contact you to see how to do this the best

Thanks!
