    Phoronix: Oracle Ends The Week With VirtualBox 4 Beta 4

Besides Oracle's second quarter earnings having beaten their own expectations and that of the street, they've been releasing updates this week to a number of their Sun-acquired open-source projects.

        Release early, release often. I like it Finally, something Oracle is doing right, unlike OpenSolaris.

          Well RC3 had fully broken cd/dvd device support, so RC4 is just a hotfix...

              Maybe they would need a test device...

                Grab a UVD device then. Same issue hurts them.

                  If you're so anti-open source, what are you doing here wasting your time?
