Oracle - ( Open Source)

VirtualBox is an easy and elegant solution for those who want to control a computer from another computer.

VirtualBox offers virtualize your operating system (OS) guests on a host machine. Called hypervisor, the application supports Windows OS X, Linux, Mac, Solaris, FreeBSD, etc.. as host, Mac OS X missing the call as a guest.

It also includes a remote access via HTTP protocol, convenient for demonstrations on a clean system.Â The ability to manage multiple states of the system is particularly interesting and its interface is very simple.

Virtualization solutions allow installing an operating system on a virtual machine using the resources of the host PC , thus enjoying very good performance. In the genre, several solutions are known for their ease of use, such as VMware Workstation , Parallels Desktop or Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1.

A virtual machine is a useful way to use two operating systems simultaneously and harmless to the host computer. There is the possibility to install Linux on a virtual machine on Windows and vice versa .

# Features were added:
- Dragn drop support (bidirectional) for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests
- GUI: Support hotplugging for SATA disks
- New, modular audio architecture for providing a better abstraction of the host audio backends
# Following items were fixed and/or added:
- VMM: improved timing on Solaris hosts with older VT-x hosts without preemption timers
- VBoxManage: when exporting an appliance, support the suppression of MAC addresses, which means they will be always recreated on import, avoiding duplicate MAC addresses for VMs which are imported several times
- API: block the removal of the current snapshot if it has child snapshots (only relevant for VMs without snapshottable hard disks, their presence always prevented removal), which resulted in VM config corruption
- API: mark VM configs with snapshots but without current snapshot as inaccessible, as this combination is nonsense
- API: fix information for some automatically generated events (only with XPCOM, Windows host was not affected), which caused errors when getting some of the attributes over the webservice
- API: fix crashes in Java API clients using the XPCOM binding, happened with output parameters only
- API: a number of settings (e.g. network settings) can now also be changed when the VM is in saved state
