Sun has launched VirtualBox 2.2. Sun is adding support for the Open Virtualization Format standard to its VirtualBox virtualization software. With the OVF standard incorporated into VirtualBox 2.2, users can not only build virtual machines, but also export them from a development situation and import them into a production environment. Sun also is adding greater hypervisor optimization, 3D graphics acceleration for Linux and Solaris applications, and support for Apple's upcoming 64-bit Snow Leopard platform.

the network connection does not work (this might be a YMMV problem, though).
It is, yes. I've never had an issue with networking from a VirtualBox guest, and I assume it would be a high-priority bug if it didn't work across the board or for a high percentage of users.
If you need a virtual machine with multiple CPUs then use Qemu.

It is easy, small, efficient. Oh, the irony!
Yet, it can create only single processor virtual machines and the network connection does not work (this might be a YMMV problem, though).
