Für die kostenlose Virtualisierungssoftware VirtualBox wurde in der Bugfix-Release 4.0.10 veröffentlicht, mit dem eine größere Anzahl an Fehlern behoben wird. Die Open Source Edition der Software kann, wie der Name vermuten lässt, als Source heruntergeladen werden, sie enthält allerdings nicht alle Funktionen der Closed Source Variante. Genaueres kann man auf der Projekt-Seite nachlesen.
VirtualBox ist für Windows, Mac OS X, Linux und Solaris verfügbar. Zu den unterstützten Gastsystemen zählen neben Windows, Mac OS X, Linux und Solaris auch OS/2, DOS und einige BSD-Derivate.
