VirtualBox logo (90 pix) Sun Microsystems heeft vrijdag de tweede bètarelease van versie 2.2 van VirtualBox uitgebracht. Dit programma kan worden gebruikt om een ander besturingssysteem in een virtuele omgeving te installeren. VirtualBox draait onder Windows 2000 en hoger, Mac OS X, Linux en Solaris en kan overweg met een groot aantal gastbesturingssystemen.
De software is in twee versies verkrijgbaar. De volledige versie heeft meer functionaliteit, zoals ondersteuning voor usb-poorten en het remote display-protocol, maar is alleen gratis voor privé-gebruik en evaluatiedoeleinden. Deze extra functionaliteit is namelijk closed source en ontbreekt in de andere versie, namelijk de opensource-uitvoering. Versie 2.2 bevat een aantal belangrijke verbeteringen. Zo is er ondersteuning voor Open Virtualization Format toegevoegd en is er onder andere usb-ondersteuning op OpenSolaris aanwezig, net als OpenGL voor Linux.
