Earlier today, VirtualBox was updated to version 4.1.2.
VirtualBox is virtualization software that allows you to create self-contained virtual machines (VM). It’s actually open source, and the only one current virtualization software that is full open source (and free!). There is a Mac OS X version and it supports older versions of Windows (Windows NT4, 2000) as well as the latest (Windows 7), in addition to DOS, Linux, Solaris, OS/2, and other guest operating systems.
With version 4.1.2, there isn’t much that is specific to Mac OS X hosts, but it’s still a recommended upgrade.
