VirtualBox


Released January, 2008

The Pros:Free. Fast. OS-specific extensions improve performance and integration with the host.

The Cons:Multi-core support is still flaky. 2D/3D acceleration does not work very well. USB device support is flaky.

VirtualBox is an x86 virtualization software package, originally created by German software company innotek, now developed by Sun Microsystems as part of its Sun xVM virtualization platform. It is installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional operating systems, each known as a Guest OS, can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment.
