VirtualBox 4.3.18
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 of Windows 10 te testen.
Vrijdag is VirtualBox 4.3.18 uitgebracht door producent Oracle. Dit is een onderhoudsupdate waarin diverse fouten worden gerepareerd en crashes opgelost. Zo zijn verschillende problemen met volledige schermweergave onder Mac OS X verholpen en zijn enkele aanpassingen gedaan voor Windows 10. 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.
