Ce programme permet d\u2019\u00e9muler un PC sous plusieurs OS. Il tourne sous Windows ou sous Linux. Il permet de faire tourner des machines virtuelles sous diff\u00e9rents OS (Windows de tout type, Linux, FreeBSD OS\/2 etc.), il est \u00e9galement open source et gratuit (pour les particuliers). Les solutions de virtualisation existante \u00e9tant soit tr\u00e8s cher pour le particulier soit incompl\u00e8te au niveau du support des syst\u00e8mes, VirtualBox propose une alternative \u00e0 Vmware et VirtualPC et il s’en sort plus que bien.<\/p>\n
This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:<\/p>\n – Support for hardware virtualization (VT-x and AMD-V) on Mac OS X hosts In addition, the following items were fixed and\/or added:<\/p>\n – VMM: significant performance improvements for VT-x (real mode execution) T\u00e9l\u00e9charger VirtualBox v7.2.6a (169 Mo)<\/a><\/p>

\n – VMM: fixed guru meditation while running the Dr. Web virus scanner (software virtualization only; bug #1439)
\n – VMM: deactivate VT-x and AMD-V when the host machine goes into suspend mode; reactivate when the host machine resumes (Windows, Mac OS X & Linux hosts; bug #1660)
\n – VMM: fixed guest hangs when restoring VT-x or AMD-V saved states\/snapshots
\n – VMM: fixed guru meditation when executing a one byte debug instruction (VT-x only; bug #2617)
\n – VMM: fixed guru meditation for PAE guests on non-PAE hosts (VT-x)

\n – VMM: fixed black screen when booting OS\/2 1.x (AMD-V only)
\n – GUI: pause running VMs when the host machine goes into suspend mode (Windows & Mac OS X hosts)
\n – GUI: resume previously paused VMs when the host machine resumes after suspend (Windows & Mac OS X hosts)
\n – GUI: save the state of running or paused VMs when the host machine\u2019s battery reaches critical level (Windows hosts)
\n – GUI: properly restore the position of the selector window when running on the compiz window manager
\n – GUI: properly restore the VM in seamless mode (2.0 regression)
