jalaffa Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 <img src="http://nsanedown.com/images/logos/VBox.png" class="logo" alt="VirtualBox" title="VirtualBox" />VirtualBox is an application installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional operating systems can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment. For example, several Linux distributions can be hosted on a single machine running Windows XP; likewise, XP and Vista can run on a machine running Linux, and so on. There is a free for personal or evaluation use proprietary version and a GNU General Public License (GPL) version.<a href="http://www.nsanedown.com/?request=12211749" target="_blank">Download</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siddharta Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I didn't know this application was free.... Anyway I am just starting to use it ...I have many questions with regard to its potential for instance:If I were to install XP inside Windows 7 within this protected and isolated environment:Would it received updates?How fully isolated would it be?Would viruses or malware filter into the main operating sytem or the other way around?Do you uninstall this normally?Well I guess you cannot install XP x 64 bits in Windows 7 x 32 bits or am I wrong?Its potential anyway seems amazing for testing or using other operating systems within your main system. Definetely it is something very useful.Thanks for posting.Bye. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Thanks jalaffa! :)Would it received updates?How fully isolated would it be?Would viruses or malware filter into the main operating sytem or the other way around?Do you uninstall this normally?- Think of it the same as having 2 different computers mate. ;) And depending on your settings, it may or may not receive updates.- In my case, i created 2 shared folders(1 as read only and the other full) and for easy access i mounted them as network drives.- By default it would be isolated to whichever OS got infected.- If by normal you mean easily, then my answer is Yes.Cheers,Tuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
