VirtualBox是德國一家軟件公司InnoTek所開發(fā)的虛擬系統(tǒng)軟件，它不僅具有豐富的特色，而且性能也很優(yōu)異。更是開源的，成為了一個發(fā)布在GPL許可之下的自由軟件。VirtualBox 可以在 Linux 和 Windows 主機中運行，并支持在其中安裝 Windows (NT 4.0、2000、XP、Server 2003、Vista)、DOS/Windows 3.x、Linux (2.4 和 2.6)、OpenBSD 等系列的客戶操作系統(tǒng)。假如你曾經(jīng)有用過虛擬機軟件的經(jīng)歷的話，相信使用 VirtualBox 不在話下。即便你是一個新手，也沒有關(guān)系。VirtualBox 提供了詳細的文檔，可以助你在短期內(nèi)入門。
