SUN Microsystems Sun has launched VirtualBox 2.2. Sun is adding support for the Open Virtualization Format standard to its VirtualBox virtualization software. With the OVF standard incorporated into VirtualBox 2.2, users can not only build virtual machines, but also export them from a development situation and import them into a production environment. Sun also is adding greater hypervisor optimization, 3D graphics acceleration for Linux and Solaris applications, and support for Apple's upcoming 64-bit Snow Leopard platform.

Use VB on an almost dailybasis at home to take care of my ties to windows...

Works like a charm! Two things that would be neet to have tho is 1) beeing able to allocate processor cores in more detail 2) support for 64bit guests.
Maybe beeing able to give guest more that 128mb of video ram...

Anywho, I know what I will be doing when I get home tonight!

Several cores would be nice.
64 bits guest already supported and who needs 128MB of video ram in a virtual machine? Maybe when the 3D driver is good enough to play any recent game or something like autocad/maya/etc, before that i see no need to more than 16/32MB.

Just my 2c.
