“The latest version of VirtualBox allows you to create a Mac OS X guest host, providing the ability to virtualize different versions of Mac OS X,” a recent report by OS X Daily, which targets Mac geeks, claims. Some of the key additions include experimental support for Mac OS X guests, memory ballooning to dynamically increase or decrease the amount of RAM used by a VM (64-bit hosts only), and CPU hot-plugging for Linux (hot-add and hot-remove) and certain Windows guests (hot-add only). The software allows users to install additional operating systems over an existing one as guests, living inside what is called “a virtual machine.”Īccording to the release notes for VirtualBox 3.2.0, this is a major update. VirtualBox is a virtualization solution available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Apparently, you need to go through Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to install the latest version of Apple’s OS (Snow Leopard). It offers a link to a guide explaining how to get the job done. A report by Mac geek site OS X Daily claims that Sun Microsystem’s VirtualBox can now run Mac OS X in a virtual machine on pretty much any Intel PC.
