Sun VirtualBox 2.2 is released!
It's out there so what does it contain? In a nutshell:
Share and Publish
- export and import virtual machines using OVF support
Faster and more Powerful
- hypervisor speedups
- guests can have a max of 16Gb RAM (up from 3.5Gb)
- 3D acceleration for OpenSolaris and Linux guests
Easier
- smarter defaults (audio, USB, VT-x)
- Host-only networking for using server guests offline
- removed previous limitations such as not mixing VT-x and non-VTx guests. (64- and 32-bit guests)
You can hear all about these features in the April edition of The VirtualBox Live show and I'll be discussing a few of these features in more detail in the coming weeks.

Andy,
Thanks for the tip-off, very interesting.
For everyone's benefit, the VirtualBox coverage starts around 1 min 15sec into the show until 2min 20-ish.
Cheers,
