VirtualBox Allows Real-Time Open-Source OS Heresy

It’s been a while since Sun Microsystems came out with the newest version of VirtualBox (1.6 as of this writing), but it’s still worth the look. Geeks will like this app because:
- It let’s multiple OS runs at the same time on the same computer (it’s virtualization software after all).
- It runs on multiple OSes, including multiply variants of Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Sun’s own Solaris.
- It’s open-source, which is a great way to stick it to those damn corporate pigs. This also means source code and documentation are open for public consumption.
Visit the VirtualBox Wiki for more info and download links.
I plan to try it out one of these days.
