VirtualBox 5.0.4

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 5.0.4 verschenen. Dit is een tweede onderhoudsupdate voor VirtualBox 5 waarin diverse fouten, geheugenlekken en crashes worden verholpen. In deze uitgave zijn diverse problemen met Windows 10 verholpen. Ook is de 3D ondersteuning onder Mac OS X weer 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.
