“Varios sistemas operativos conviviendo en tu ordenador”

¿Cómo utilizar Windows y Linux a la vez? Comprar dos ordenadores no es práctico. ¿Qué te parecería utilizar dos o más sistemas operativos al mismo tiempo, conviviendo sin problemas con Windows? Con VirtualBox es posible.

VirtualBox es un programa de virtualización que recrea todos los componentes de un ordenador, desde la Definition for 'CPU' :

CPU (Central Processing Unit) es el término usado para referirse al procesador o microprocesador de un PC. Se podría decir que es el cerebro del PC ya que se trata de la unidad que se encarga de procesar las instrucciones de todos los procesos que se ejecutan en éste.">CPU hasta la tarjeta gráfica, pasando por la conexión a Internet, tarjeta de sonido y conexiones USB.

Con VirtualBox podrás instalar otras versiones de Windows, distribuciones Linux y otros sistemas operativos que funcionarán al mismo tiempo y podrán interactuar con carpetas de tu sistema operativo principal y con los dispositivos que conectes a tu PC.

¿Ventajas? VirtualBox te permite probar programas o configuraciones del sistema sin miedo a perder tus datos, ya que la máquina virtual es un entorno controlado que no afecta a tu ordenador.- Softonic

Changelog:

# New features were added
* GUI: keep the aspect ratio in scale mode (Windows and OSX hosts only)
* Experimental support for PCI passthrough for Linux hosts, see Section 9.6, “PCI passthrough”
* Networking: new network attachment mode "Generic Driver", which offers an open plugin architecture for arbitrary and separately distributable virtual network implementations
* Experimental support for SATA hotplug added. Currently only supported for hard disks and only with VBoxManage.

# The following items were fixed and/or added:

* GUI: decrease time before showing the VM configuration dialog
* Settings: provide better diagnostics if a single medium is used twice in a VM config
* Settings: provide better diagnostics for errors in medium create/merge/clone operations, and fix memory leaks in error cases
* Storage: ATA/SATA drives can be marked as non-rotational, i.e. the guest OS will detect them as a SSD if supported, which can improve performance
* Storage: virtual CD/DVD images will be detached if the guest ejects the medium, unless the drive is marked to handle ejects only on a temporary basis
* Storage: the medium UUID can be changed again when attaching a medium for the first time, which allows using images which are exact duplicates including the UUID
* Storage: fixed possible data corruption under certain circumstances with VHD and Parallels images
* Storage: fixed unnecessary expansion when cloning differential images in VDI format
* Storage: fixed detection code to handle empty files for VDI and VMDK format
* Floppy: make it possible to unmount a host floppy disk
* Networking: workaround for a bug in wireshark when operating directly on a capture file created by VirtualBox
* Webservice: fixed timeout handling with HTTP 1.1 keepalive, and be more robust when connections fail
* VBoxSVC: fixed regression when several clients trigger autostart simultaneously
* Main: fixed incorrect handling of the medium location for media which are not file based (e.g. iSCSI), which resulted in confusing location values in many places
* JAX-WS client bindings: fixed resource leak
* Sources: fixed USB 2.0 support using extension packs for non-official builds
* Windows hosts (64-bit only): enabled removing of all mediums when removing a VM
* Windows hosts (64-bit only): enabled live snapshot deletion
* Solaris Additions: fixed automounting of shared folders
