Website Key Features
Cross-platform
VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x and 4.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD.
Modularity
VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely.
Guest Additions
VirtualBox Guest Additions provide several useful features for guest systems such as mouse pointer integration and arbitrary screen solutions (e.g. by resizing the guest window).
Snapshots
VirtualBox can save arbitrary snapshots of the state of the virtual machine. You can go back in time and revert the virtual machine to any such snapshot and start an alternative VM configuration from there, effectively creating a whole snapshot tree.
Seamless Mode
VirtualBox's Seamless Mode allows you to run applications from the virtual machine alongside applications on your host, making it appear as though they are running on the same desktop.
Shared Folders
VirtualBox allows for easy sharing of folders between the host and guest systems, facilitating easy file transfer and access.
Remote Machine Display
VirtualBox supports remote display of virtual machines, allowing you to run a virtual machine on one computer and display it on another.
Extensive Hardware Support
VirtualBox supports a wide range of virtual hardware, including IDE, SCSI, and SATA hard disk controllers, several virtual network cards, and sound cards.
USB Device Support
VirtualBox allows virtual machines to access USB devices connected to the host, with support for USB 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 devices.
Multi-Generation Snapshots
VirtualBox supports multi-generation snapshots, allowing you to branch off from any point in the snapshot tree and create a new, independent line of snapshots.
