VirtualBox 5.0.10

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.

Gisteren is VirtualBox 5.0.10 verschenen. Dit is de vijfde onderhoudsupdate voor VirtualBox 5 waarin verschillende fouten verholpen zijn, crashes opgelost en specifieke probleempjes met de Windows-, Mac- en Linux-versie gerepareerd. 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.
