VirtualBox 开源虚拟机软件
VirtualBox 是一款开源虚拟机软件。VirtualBox 是由德国 Innotek 公司开发，由Sun Microsystems公司Sun Microsystems公司出品的软件，使用Qt编写，在 Sun 被 Oracle 收购后正式更名成 Oracle VM VirtualBox。Innotek 以 GNU General Public License (GPL) 释出 VirtualBox，并提供二进制版本及 OSE 版本的代码。使用者可以在VirtualBox上安装并且执行Solaris、Windows、DOS、Linux、OS/2 Warp、BSD等系统作为客户端操作系统。
今天，Oracle 公司宣布发布 VirtualBox 5.0.16 ，主要进行了性能提升和bug修复。
