VirtualBox 2.1
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox
virtualbox è un virtualizzatore gratuito per uso personale di Sun Microsystems (java e solaris per capirci...). prima di installare e acquistare gli ottimi parallels desktop o vmware fusion o partizionare con bootcamp può e deve essere preso in considerazione. non è detto infatti che non soddisfi le ns. esigenze di virtualizzazione da windows 98 a vista e per molte distro linux. da questa versione comincia il supporto per l'accellerazione 3D.
requisiti: un macintel e mac os 10.4 o superiore.

grazie per la segnalazione flash:) davvero molto utile!
ciao ciao
mooolto interessante! grazie!
:)
Lo sto testando con linux e devo dire che è davvero sorprendente! Molto intuitivo e relativamente semplice da usare, sul mio macbook 2 duo 2GHz 1Gb RAM va che è una meraviglia!
A tutti coloro che intendono usarlo consiglio comunque una bella letturina del manuale:)
ciao ciao

Virtualbox - 3.1.0
http://www.virtualbox.org/.

This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:
Teleportation (aka live migration); migrate a live VM session from one host to another (see the manual for more information)

VirtualBox - 3.2.0
Changelog: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog
This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:
Following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle Corporation, the product is now called Oracle VM VirtualBox and all references were changed without impacting compatibility
Experimental support for Mac OS X guests (see the manual for more information)
Memory ballooning to dynamically in- or decrease the amount of RAM used by a VM (64-bit hosts only) (see the manual for more information)
