[ros-dev] Yet another VM

[Klemens Friedl]

I read in the news that a new virtual machine software got released
under GNU GPL v.2 (dual license) today (2007-01-15). It's called
VirtualBox (VirtualBox.org) and is partly based on qemu code. On of
the advantages are that it support Intel's VT (vanderpool), run as GUI
app on Win and Unix and support WinNT 6 without glitches (as heise.de
says).

News entry and review (both in german):

Heise.de said it is ready to compete with the latest versions of
VMware, Parallels and VirtualPC. If that statement is based on facts
or not and if it is a good reliable tool; I don't know as I have not
tested it myself, as I am busy right now. I just posted it here, as it
might be useful for someone.
