VirtualBox is a virtualization or emulation program, which provides a virtual machine on your PC, with the possibility of installing Windows in another operating system, for example if you have installed Windows XP operating system can run virtually on Vista, or some Linux distribution, and conversely, from Linux to run Windows, and the rest of the combinations between these operating systems.
The functions and advantages of having a virtual machine are many, for example for those using Linux to try out new distributions, or run a Windows program to which they are accustomed and not compatible with Linux. The same in reverse, for those using Windows, and begin their first steps into Linux may prove the latter without having to create another partition, install, use GRUB, etc.
It is also useful for testing applications without damaging the operating system, for example files that you suspect may contain viruses, or if we create an application and want to test on multiple operating systems.
The OS supported by VirtualBox are: DOS / Windows 3.x, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Linux 2.4, Linux 2.6, OS / 2 Warp, OpenBSD and others, and now Mac OS X.
Virtual Box competes with another program of the same characteristics as the VmWare, but the former is more lightweight, completely free, and also GNU (open source).
This new version adds support for Intel Core i7 i5 and in addition to the Intel Xeon 5600 series.
