The PC version was installed on an HP Phoenix HP9E with 12GB RAM, a 3.5GHz Intel Core i& processor, 2TB hard drive, and an nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti discrete graphics card with 1GB video RAM. I installed the OS X versions on a MacBook Air with a 2GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, a 256GB SSD drive, and Intel HD4000 integrated graphics. I downloaded and installed VirtualBox 4.2.4 in both Mac OS X and Windows versions, and getting up and running with both versions only took a few minutes.
Installation is a straightforward process. Let’s take a look at what this latest version of VirtualBox has to offer. VirtualBox version 4.0 was the most significant release in the last year or so, but 4.2.4 brings a host of new features, bug fixes, and other improvements.
So how does the latest version of VirtualBox stack up as a virtualization platform? To find out I decided to spend a few weeks using Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.2.4, released on Oct. (See more details in this Oracle VM VirtualBox commercial license blog post.) Companies and other institutions looking for a licensed version of Oracle VM VirtualBox with technical support can opt for a paid version. One of the best alternatives to all of the products I just mentioned is Oracle VM VirtualBox, an open source and free (at least for personal and home use) virtualization product that allows you to create and manage VMs. All of these products do an excellent job of running VMs and quickly spooling up work environments of all sorts of operating systems, but with both personal and IT budgets tighter than ever, isn’t there a cheaper solution? Let’s take a look. If you’re looking to quickly create a virtual machine with a different OS than your existing PC or server, you’ll likely turn to products like Parallels Workstation, Parallels Desktop (Mac), VMware Workstation, or VMware Fusion (for the Mac).
