Thanks Sun released VirtualBox 3.1.2, an update to the free virtualization software for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and Solaris. The update fixes bugs for these hosts, including for 3D video on Mac OS X. Sun calls 3.1.2 maintenance, whereas it referred to the previous version 3.1.0 as a major update. (See also Sun's change log page.) If you've tried VirtualBox 3.1.2 please let us know.
Windows XP on Sun VirtualBox 2.1.2
Sun's VirtualBox 3.1 can move a VM while it's running Sunday, December 6, 2009 -- Sun has released VirtualBox 3.1, an update to its free virtualization software for Mac OS X (Intel Macs), Windows, Linux, and Solaris hosts. The new version includes several new features and several dozen bug fixes. A unique new feature is Teleportation, the ability to move a Virtual machine over a network from one VirtualBox host to another -- while the virtual machine is running. The two host computers can be different Operating systems, such as a Mac and a PC. This is a feature that is unique.
Windows XP on Sun VirtualBox 2.1.2
Windows running virtual machines now get 2D acceleration. VirtualBox 3.1 does not have the 3D acceleration features of VMware Fusion 3 and Parallels Desktop 5, and cannot display Aero features of Windows 7 and Vista.
VirtualBox 3.1 adds the ability for users to restore virtual machine states from any previously saved "snapshot." Previously, VirtualBox could only restore from the most recent snapshot. Storage and networking is more flexible: users can attach CD/DVD drives to an arbitrary IDE controller, and there can be more than one such drive. Users can also change the network attachment type while the virtual machine is running. There's also experimental support for EFI.

Sun VirtualBox 3.0 looks to multi-CPU server virtualization Tuesday, June 30, 2009 -- Today Sun Microsystems released VirtualBox 3.0 for Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix/Linux host systems. The new version of the virtualization platform adds support for symmetric multi-processing, enhanced graphics, and enhanced support for USB storage and iPhones. The new version can also now support Window 7 and Windows Server 2008 as both guest and host operating systems. (Snow Leopard is not yet supported.)
Sun said that VirtualBox 3.0 is suitable for running servers with heavy workloads due to the symmetric multiprocessing. Although most virtualization products support SMP, VirtualBox enables users to assign up to 32 virtual processors to a single virtual machine. A Sun representative said that users can designate up two twice as many virtual CPUs in a virtual machine as there are real processing cores in the computer. Competing virtualization products allow up to 4 virtual processors per virtual machine.
VirtualBox 3.0 adds some graphics support that other virtualization packages have had. This includes Microsoft Direct3D support for Windows guest operating systems, which is common in gaming. VirtualBox 3.0 also adds OpenGL support for several different guest operating systems.
