Free Virtualization Software: VirtualBox is POWERFUL!

There’s a growing number of people downloading VirtualBox to do DEV work, versus purchasing VMware Workstation.

This product reminds me of the late 90′s when I was supporting developers at YPG (Yuma Proving Ground).

They would download a new upstart program called VMware Beta and then I’d have to figure out how to set up virtual machine images for them.

It seems VirtualBox is following a similar trend of usage and it’s become a popular solution for the hobbyist who is using virtual box to test hacks of Android, IOS, OSX and other operating systems.

The challenge is to get a hacked OS running on a VirtualBox VM, then publish a video of it on Youtube to get the “Props” and “Adsense Profits” from their achievement.

Here’s 4 good things about VirtualBox, there’s an install package for:

• Windows
• OSX
• Linux
• Unix

You get to pick your platform to install it on, which includes x86/amd64 Back in the day, VMware Beta only ran on Windows 98, ha! how things have changed.
