VirtualBox 2.2: Virtual Appliances Exportable From Your Desktop
|
The little engineering team that can is at it again. I've said it before and I'll say it again: These folks release more product, more faster, and more better than pretty much anyone. To wit: VirtualBox 2.2 is here! And the most poplar open source virtualization product on earth continues a string of impressive releases--including the first commercial virtualization product to support OVF export for virtual appliances. So what else is new in the latest version? Well, glad you asked:
