About VirtualBox

VirtualBox is a popular hypervisor available for download for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris. Unlike VMware Workstation Pro for Windows and VMware Fusion for Mac, VirtualBox is free and open source. It's ideal for testing or developing, and allows you to set up multiple operating systems on one system. VirtualBox is considered to be a Type-2 hypervisor, which is intended to run on a host operating system. Type-1 hypervisors, also known as native or bare-metal hypervisors, run directly on a host's hardware.
