I can't remember the last time I saw a stock Ubuntu guest crash a VM process, but VirtualBox crashed 4 times in the last 2 days.

I think I managed to crash it about ten times last sunday, doing nothing but browsing the web on a VM.

I can't remember the last time I crashed VirtualBox, browsing or not. Even with older 64-bit Flash. Only issue I recall is some snapshot breakage a while back.

Yay anecdotes.

Seconded. It's never crashed for me, I love it.

I had a lot of instability until I upgraded to a newer vm kernel.

I was on 2.6.38 fedora 64bit vm and it would crash once a day

now I am on 2.6.40 and it has been stable for 50 days
