VirtualBox 4.3.16

Met VirtualBox kun je binnen een besturingssysteem een ander besturingssysteem (OS) virtueel draaien. Handig om Linux vanuit Windows uit te proberen bijvoorbeeld. Of om een oude Windows XP-installatie draaiend te houden.

Gisteren is VirtualBox 4.3.16 uitgebracht door producent Oracle. Dit is een onderhoudsupdate waarin diverse fouten worden gerepareerd en crashes opgelost. Met name een aantal regressies in de vorige versie worden verholpen. Zo leiden conflicten met anti-virus software onder Windows niet meer tot opstartproblemen en zijn verschillende problemen met usb-aansluitingen gerepareerd. Verdere details kun je hieronder nalezen.

VirtualBox is beschikbaar voor Windows, Mac OS X en Linux. Het is aan te raden om ook het Extension Pack te installeren, zodat je onder andere ondersteuning voor USB hebt.
