VirtualBox 4.0.0 r69151 Final
VirtualBox - специальная программа для создания в памяти ПК виртуальных компьютеров. Каждый виртуальный компьютер может содержать произвольный набор виртуальных устройств и отдельную операционную систему. Область применения виртуальных компьютеров очень широка - от выполнения функций по тестированию ПО до создания целых сетей, которые легко масштабировать, распределять нагрузку и защищать. VirtualBox распространяется бесплатно, с открытым исходным кодом.
Существуют версии VirtualBox, предназначенные для установки на практически всех операционных системах, включая Windows, Linux, Macintosh и OpenSolaris. В качестве "гостевой" операционной системы так же могут использоваться любые операционные системы, включая Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, W7), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux, и OpenBSD.
Среди основных особенностей программы можно выделить следующие:
- VirtualBox может управляться как через GUI-интерфейс, так и через коммандную строку.
- Для расширения функций программы разработан специальный комплект SDK.
- Параметры виртуальных машин описываются в формате XML и никак не зависят от того физического компьютера, на котором система работает. Поэтому виртуальные компьютеры формата VirtalBox легко переносить с одного ПК на другой.
- При использовании на "гостевых" компьютерах операционных систем Windows или Linux можно воспользоваться специальными утилитами, значительно облегчающими переключение между физическим и виртуальными компьютерами.
- Для быстрого обмена файлами между гостевым и физическим ПК можно создавать так называемые "разделяемые каталоги" (Shared folders), которые одновременно доступны из обоих этих машин.
- VirtualBox позволяет подключать USB-устройства к виртуальным компьютерам, позволяя виртуальным машинам работать с ними напрямую.
- VirtualBox полностью поддерживает протокол удалённого доступа RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). Виртуальная машина может работать как RDP-сервер, позволяя управлять ею удалённо.

- Language bindings: uniform Java bindings for both local (COM/XPCOM) and remote (SOAP) invocation APIs
In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:
- VMM: Enable large page support by default on 64-bit hosts (applies to nested paging only)
- VMM: fixed guru meditation when running Minix (VT-x only; bug #6557)
- VMM: fixed crash under certain circumstances (Linux hosts only, non VT-x/AMD-V mode only; bugs #4529 and #7819)
- GUI: add configuration dialog for port forwarding in NAT mode (bug #1657)
- GUI: show the guest window content on save and restore
- GUI: certain GUI warnings don’t stop the VM output anymore
- GUI: fixed black fullscreen minitoolbar on KDE4 hosts (Linux hosts only; bug #5449)

- Floppy: support readonly image files, taking this as the criteria for making the medium readonly (bug #5651)
- Audio: fixed memory corruption during playback under rare circumstances
- Audio: the DirectSound backend now allows VMs to be audible when another DirectSound application is active, including another VM (bug #5578)
- EFI: support for SATA disks and CDROMs
