Oracle VM VirtualBox

Oracle VM VirtualBox is an x86 virtualization software package. It was created by software company innotek GmbH, purchased by Sun Microsystems, and is now developed by Oracle Corporation as part of its family of virtualization products.

  • Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7)
  • DOS/Windows 3.x,
  • Linux (2.4 and 2.6)
  • Solaris and OpenSolaris
  • OS/2
  • OpenBSD
