Virtualization is super handy. No matter if you like to virtualize an OS as sandbox to play with or to utilize the full potential your hardware offers by consolidating multiple servers into one physical machine.
I like to write a bit about a tool i’m using for quite some timeĀ i am very happy with.
Sun Virtual Box virtualizes nearly every Operating System currently out there. Starting from Linux Distributions / XP / Vista / Windows 7 up to Windows Server 2003 / 2008 like a charm.
Feature wise were looking at SMP (Up to 32 virtual CPUs)/ 3D support (Direct3D 8 and 9, OpenGL 2.0)
Enough said, go ahead and try it.
