Not Your Father's Virtual Machine

,----[ Quote ]
| In it's most basic form, virtualization involves the 
| separation of a physical machine from the software the 
| machine happens to be running. The first product of VMware  ( 
| VMW -  news  -  people ), the EMC  ( EMC -  news  -  people ) 
| subsidiary most responsible for the current interest in 
| virtualization, allowed users to turn an entire Windows or 
| Linux computer into a program, one that could then run as an 
| application on another Windows or Linux machine.

Feature: Running Linux in a virtual environment with VirtualBox

,----[ Quote ]
| If you are considering trying Linux and donât want to mess with your exiting
| Windows installation in any way I canât recommend VirtualBox enough. It gives
| you so much freedom to experiment and if you mess up or crash the OS you are
| trying out it doesnât matter as its only running in a window just like an
| application.

VirtualBox 3.0: No More Booting Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| VirtualBox 3.0, with its improved 3D support, can ensure that some users
| won't need to boot Windows even when gaming.
|
| With its version 3.0 of VirtualBox, Innotek/Sun/Oracle made a significant
| step forward. End users will probably like the 3D graphics support the most:
| you can now run Ubuntu with Compiz. The new version brings enhancements and
| support for OpenGL 2.0.

Product Spotlight: VirtualBox open source virtual machine app

,----[ Quote ]
| If youâre looking for a virtualization solution, and you need one that makes
| the task of setting up virtual machines easy, VirtualBox is for you. If,
| however, you are looking for a tool that will allow you to serve out virtual
| machines you will need to purchase the full version and even then you might
| find it more challenging than, say, VMWare Server. But for standalone virtual
| machine needs, you cannot beat VirtualBox for its ease of use and price.
