VirtualBox 3.0 Runs Multiple Operating Systems Concurrently

by Sam Dean - Jul. 01, 2009Comments (1)

As JKOnTheRun reports, Sun Microsystems is out with the third version of its free virtualization software VirtualBox, downloadable here. You can take a screenshot tour here. VirtualBox 3.0 now supports Open GL 2.0 as well as Direct 3D 8/9 in Windows. Also included is the ability for guest operating systems to use up to 32 virtual CPUs. You can view the substantial changelog here. "VirtualBox might not be as glitzy, glamorous or functional for games as solutions from Parallels or VMware, but you can’t beat the price," says the JKOnTheRun post. "It’s definitely a must-see if you want to run multiple operating systems at the same time on a Windows, Mac or Linux machine."

VMware - your move! I fail to see how they can continue to justify high costs.
