Sun Microsystems heeft de vierde update uitgebracht voor de eind juni verschenen versie 3.0 van VirtualBox. Dit programma kan worden gebruikt om andere besturingssystemen in een virtuele omgeving op een computer te installeren. Op die manier kunnen verschillende OS'en op dezelfde hardware worden gebruikt. VirtualBox is beschikbaar voor Windows 2000 en hoger, Mac OS X, Linux en Solaris, en kan overweg met een groot aantal gastbesturingssystemen.



VirtualBox is in twee versies verkrijgbaar. De volledige versie heeft extra  functionaliteit, zoals ondersteuning voor usb-poorten en het remote display-protocol, maar deze is alleen gratis voor privĂ©-gebruik en voor evaluatiedoeleinden. Deze extra functionaliteit is namelijk closed source en ontbreekt dan ook in de opensource-uitvoering. Versie 3.0.8 bevat een aantal aanpassingen die de stabiliteit en performance moeten verbeteren. Het changelog laat verder voornamelijk bugfixes zien:

    The following items were fixed and/or added:

        * VMM: fixed 64 bits guest on 32 bits host regression in 3.0.6 (VT-x only; bug #4947)
        * VMM: fixed a recompiler triple fault guru meditation (VT-x & AMD-V only; bug #5058)
        * VMM: fixed hang after guest state restore (AMD-V, 32 bits Windows guest and IO-APIC enabled only; bug #5059)
        * VMM: fixed paging issue with OS/2 guests
