New VirtualBox 2.0 Released

Sun has released a major upgrade of VirtualBox, a free application that allows users to run an OS inside another. The VirtualBox 2.0 runs on Mac, Linux and Windows and allows you to run a "guest" operating system "home" of your PC.


For example, if you have Linux, but sometimes you can use any Windows application that is not performing well under Wine (open source application for the use of Windows programs which are not installed), you can load and run VirtualBox to Windows.


The latest upgrade provides improved performance for systems with AMD processors and support 64 bit host. The VirtualDisk 2.0 adds additional support for versions Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 9 Linux.
