On the linux side of things, Virtualbox is a much better product than VMWare except for some issues with giving control of USB devices to the VM. It loads faster, and has a coherence mode similar to VMWare Fusion on Mac.

The free solutions are getting much better and can compete with VMWare. Furthermore, I would say the money is not in desktop virtualization, but rather in server virtualization. For this, does VMWare even have a product?

Huh? They are extremely strong in data center virtualization - in fact that's where their main revenue comes from: http://www.vmware.com/products/server_virtualization.html
