XVM VirtualBox 2.1 released with a bang!!!!1
VirtualBox is like magic for most of the students in my college because whenever I talk about it, people are awestruck and look at me gaping, asking me “How the hell is it possible to have Linux running inside Windows or vice versa??!!”...
Much to their amazement, I show them the demo and they all immediately want to try it out.
VirtualBox indeed is something truly amazing which does not stop to amuse and surprise people. Most importantly its safe to use as you do not really have to install an new OS on raw machine, rather its just a file on your hard disk which you can use/modify/delete in a second's time.
Not just in my college, its extremely extremely popular all over the world, check the facts:
“8 million downloads worldwide, 2.5 million registrations and 25,000 downloads a day!!!”
Woah....
that's a helluva number!!!!!.....
