You can also send security inquiries or report problems via the VirtualBox Community. VirtualBox can be installed on Windows 7, 8, 8. VirtualBox goes head to head with the industry giant VMware in this comparison.
Both products are free, however VMware Player is only free for non-commercial clients. Portability is another win for VirtualBox with its ability to spin up multiple VMs in one environment but run them in another environment. As with my freeware offerings, VirtualBox can be buggy and sporadically slow. VMware states that their Player program has the same level of reliability and stability as their higher product offerings, making it a clear winner here.
All in all, any industry professional would agree both of these are excellent, free options for someone new to virtualization or with low maintenance VM needs. VirtualBox is an excellent tool for hobby or beginner VM users. See the Changelog for details. New October 19th, VirtualBox 6. New July 28th, VirtualBox 6. New July 20th, VirtualBox 6.
New April 29th, VirtualBox 6. User preferences is demonstrated by setting a folder to save all future virtual.
VirtualBox guests can read an ISO file directly so you do not need to convert it to a physical disk as you need to do to install in some physical machines.
VirtualBox is licensed as freeware for PC or laptop with Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system without restrictions. It is in virtualization and emulation category and is available to all software users as a free download.
Update- This post has been updated with the latest release of Windows 8. Do you want to upgrade your existing Windows 7 or 8 computer? I also had great difficulty getting VB 4. The laptop also is running Windows 8.
Sorry for asking but I need to be sure here: You downloaded VirtualBox 4. But installation of VirtualBox fails with the error message that this version of VirtualBox supports only bit but the bit version for your host is required, is that correct? Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows NT 4.
VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on.
