VirtualBox最早是德国一家软件公司InnoTek所开发的虚拟系统软件,后来被Sun收购,改名为Sun VirtualBox,在Sun被Oracle收购后现改名为Oracle VirtualBox。因为他是开源的,不同于VM,而且功能强大,可以在Linux/Mac和Windows主机中运行,并支持在其中安装Windows(NT 4.0、2000、XP、Server 2003、Vista)、DOS/Windows 3.x、Linux (2.4 和 2.6)、OpenBSD 等系列的客户操作系统。假如你曾经有用过虚拟机软件的经历的话,相信使用VirtualBox不在话下。即便你是一个新手,也没有关系。VirtualBox 提供了详细的文档,可以助你在短期内入门。

* Snapshots: implemented deleting the last remaining snapshot while the VM is running
* GUI: perform the checks for exceeding the size limit of the host file system and for broken asynchronous I/O on older Linux kernels with ext4 / xfs file systems not only when starting the VM from scratch but also when starting from a saved state
* NAT: fixed memory leak (3.2.0 regression; bugs #6918, #7353)

* USB: fixed a crash with older Linux kernels and non-ASCII characters in device strings (Linux hosts only; bug #6983, #7158, #7733; version 3.2.8 contained an incomplete fix)
* USB: fixed a crash under rare circumstances (bug #7409; Windows hosts only)
* iSCSI: respond to NOP-In requests from the target immediately to avoid being disconnected if the guest is idle
