VirtualBox is a powerful virtualization product for x86 and AMD64/Intel64 systems, perfect for both professional and home use. On the one hand, VirtualBox is an application with a huge list of features and high performance that is perfect for corporate use. On the other hand, it is a free product that is freely distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Nowadays VirtualBox can be run under most modern operating systems: Windows, Linux, Macintosh and Solaris. The product supports a large number of guest operating systems, including the Windows family (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, and OpenBSD. However, this list is far from exhaustive. VirtualBox is constantly evolving, with frequent product updates that bring new features and support to even more guest operating systems.

VirtualBox allows users to run multiple operating systems simultaneously, enhancing productivity and testing capabilities.

The program is very easy to use. You can use network shares to share files between "external" and "internal" operating systems. To interact with the network, the program creates its own network connection. In addition, the physical and virtual operating systems use a single clipboard, which is also convenient for exchanging information. Virtual operating systems can be installed in exactly the same way as conventional operating systems. Installation is supported from optical disks as well as from external USB storage media or even from disk images. Before you start the installation, you should allocate some system resources to the new system - the maximum available amount of RAM and processor cores, as well as assign the maximum level of their loading. Fine hardware configuration parameters are also available for adjustment.

VirtualBox is a useful app for anyone who is interested in virtualizing x86 and AMD64/Intel64 computing architecture. With the help of the app users can deploy desktops and servers as virtual machines.

The app has lots of great features. One of them is that it can extend the capability of the existing operating system.
It is also possible to install and operate as many virtual machines as the computer's memory and disc space allow. Users can also create software for different platforms on the same computer. It is easy to install the app.

For safe installation read the instructions on the app’s official website.

I really appreciate how far VirtualBox has come after their initial release back 14 years ago. It's a fantastic software that gives you the ability to have multiple operating systems running throughout. Such as Windows, Mac, Linux and others. I would definitely give this software to family and friends so they can also see for themselves what it can do.

VirtualBox is a program that allows users to run multiple operating systems on a single computer simultaneously. With this software, users can create virtual machines that function like a separate computer within their actual computer. This enables users to test and experiment with different operating systems, software, and configurations without affecting their main system. VirtualBox offers features such as snapshotting, which allows users to save the current state of their virtual machine, and the ability to share files between the host and guest systems. Additionally, it supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, and various Linux distributions.

VirtualBox, created and maintained by Oracle, is an open-source software that allows users to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single machine. Its standout feature is the robust hardware virtualization it offers without requiring any host OS modifications. With VirtualBox, users can run software written for one OS on another, such as Windows software on Linux, offering unparalleled flexibility. It also supports snapshot feature that lets users save a particular state of their virtual machine, and revert back to that state when required.
