VirtualBox 2.2.0 released!

[Savvas Radevic]

What's VirtualBox?
 VirtualBox is an x86 virtualisation software package, originally
created by German software company Innotek, now developed by Sun
Microsystems as part of its Sun xVM virtualisation platform. It is
installed on an existing host operating system; within this
application, additional operating systems, each known as a Guest OS,
can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment. [2]

 And... Sun got hot before summer! There's a new release (2.2.0) of
this fancy new virtualisation program that makes virtualization a
child's play. There are lots of new bug fixes included [3] so be sure
to check it out:

 You have two options:
a) the totally free one (OSE, open source edition), and skinny since
it doesn't have the "Virtualbox toys" (aka add-ons) that make your
life easier.
b) the binary licensed [1] version (with the "toys for the big boys"
that can't live without automatic screen resizing!).

 If you can't manage to do something, you can always read the manual
(also listed in Downloads page):

Stay playful!
