But don’t forget the $1900 MINIMUM price tag if you want to use VirtualBox in a business environment – even a single user SOHO outfit has to purchase FIFTY (!!) licenses minimum in order to use VirtualBox 2.1 (or 2.0)

So either use virtualbox-OSE, which isn’t nearly as full featured, or use something else if you want an affordable virtualization solution for a small office.

Thanks for taking the time to put this togather! I just started using Virtualbox a month or so ago after I got a laptop…Desktop was not powerful enough to get a nice smooth interface…I just setup XP on a virtual machine and it runs basically as fast as a ‘real install’ ofc some things are not as fast but most is imo…Again thank you! ;)

Simply said, Virtualbox is a software that allows you to virtualize an Operating System (generally Windows or Linux) and use it within another OS. By using Virtualbox, it allows you to have access to two operating system at the same time (the guest and the host) and saves you the trouble of dual-booting your computer.

This Virtual Box thing is quite interesting. I have heard of it before, though, I can hardly believe what it is or does. What I need is a go over of what it actually does on the computer, in introductory terms. I do not quite get it, but would like to learn more about it.
