    Phoronix: Oracle Builds Upon VirtualBox With 3.2 Beta

    While Oracle has yet to put out OpenSolaris 2010.03 and they have disbanded other open-source projects formerly under Sun's umbrella, they are moving full-steam ahead with Virtualbox. This morning Oracle has put out the VirtualBox 3.2 Beta, which re-brands itself as Oracle VM VirtualBox...

      Nice find Grep is such a great tool, can dig up almost anything enywhere

      Would be a real shame if Oracle killed VirtualBox, as it's the #1 OS testing app for me.

        Does anyone know if Oracle will move ahead with having video RAM guest-managed?

          Memeory ballooning is quite good, but where is virtual disk ballooning? Now VDI just can increase disk size dynamically but not decrease dynamically.

          When can we get GUI front-end to operate teleportation? And teleportation with block device migration sounds interesting.

            Experimental support for Mac OS X guests
            Is this legal? I always thought Apple prohibited use of OSX in virtual machines?

              This is a good functionality, you can't sue me just because I am capable of running you. I don't distribute your software, nor do I personally run it. So Apple can't do nothing about it.

                  I heard the "pics or it didn't happen" by some people..so yeah.

                  Oracle made some changes to virtualbox, for the good. One of them was Mac OS X guest support! I'm demoing Mac OS X 10.6 in Oracle VM VirtualBox 3.2 Beta!Beta...


                  Demo of it running OS X 10.6
