What about the audio? I mean systems sounds not post-production voice overs.

Virtual Box question.

"This allows you to run a complete computer operating system right inside windows" Is what you said at about 3:00 minutes in about Virtual Box.

I actually say, "Right inside a window, so you can..." -- but I see where it sounds like I don't quite pause long enough between "window" and "so."

That said, VirtualBox does indeed run on Microsoft Windows if you so desire to use it in that way. I don't think any of the screencasting software I mention have Windows ports though...

Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.
