I am especially interested to hear if anyone is using the Veertu to power a Windows virtual machine. It uses OS X's built-in hypervisor instead of a custom solution like VMware or Parallels.

Veertu works well, and its great to not have to install any kernel extensions but it has constraints. Previously Apple's hypervisor doesn't support bridged networking which I need. I see now veertu on 10.12's hypervisor does. I will have to revisit.
I use Fusion and generally don't have any issues, I do the majority of my devops in VMs so bridged networking is a stickler for me which Veertu previously was unable to support.
I am slightly less excited since I see now bridged networking is only supported outside of the app store and apple didn't actually add this to the hypervisor. But will still be taking another look.

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.

only some light software and old XP- Games.
But since Parallels switched to try to shove yearly subscription down your throat, I think V11 will be my last business with them.
Though they have been nice and released a Sierra compatible update for 11 (12 is current), I'll give them that.

For any kind of low demand gaming and other uses I'd recommend VMware personally. I found it to work really well and it was every bit as fast if not faster than Parallels.
In the Windows world I plan to try out VirtualBox just to run a Linux VM in Windows 10 which should be fine as there's no need for any gaming support in that situation and the price is certainly right. I just haven't had any time to monkey around with that yet.

VMware Workstation Player (on Windows) is free for home use, too. And you can actually create VMs, it's not merely a player. Though it has less features than the paid versions, obviously (things like snapshots, for instance).

That's great. Thanks very much for pointing that out. I'll try that first then.
