VirtualBox — программный продукт виртуализации для операционных систем Microsoft Windows, DOS, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X и SUN Solaris/OpenSolaris. Программа была создана компанией Innotek с использованием исходного кода Qemu. Первая публично доступная версия VirtualBox появилась 15 января 2007 года. Существует две версии — свободная (OSE, англ. Open Source Edition), выпущенная под GNU GPL, и проприетарная (PUEL), различающиеся по функциональности; полнофункциональная проприетарная версия для личного использования распространяется бесплатно.

Есть возможность выбора языка интерфейса (поддерживается и русскоязычный интерфейс).

В феврале 2008 Innotek был приобретён компанией Sun Microsystems, модель распространения VirtualBox при этом не изменилась.

К ключевым возможностям VirtualBox можно отнести:

• Кроссплатформенность
• Модульность
• Поддержка USB 2.0, когда устройства хост-машины становятся доступными для гостевых ОС (только в проприетарной версии)
• Поддержка 64-битных гостевых систем (начиная с версии 2.0), даже на 32-битных хост-системах (начиная с версии 2.1, для этого обязательна поддержка технологии виртуализации процессором)
• Поддержка SMP на стороне гостевой системы (начиная с версии 3.0, для этого обязательна поддержка технологии виртуализации процессором)
• Встроенный RDP-сервер, а также поддержка клиентских USB-устройств поверх протокола RDP (только в проприетарной версии)
• Экспериментальная поддержка аппаратного 3D-ускорения (OpenGL, DirectX с использованием кода wine)
• Поддержка образов жёстких дисков VMDK (VMware) и VHD (Microsoft Virtual PC), включая snapshots (начиная с версии 2.1)
• Поддержка iSCSI (только в проприетарной версии)
• Поддержка виртуализации аудиоустройств
• Поддержка различных видов сетевого взаимодействия (NAT, Host Networking via Bridged, Internal)
• Поддержка цепочки сохраненных состояний виртуальной машины (snapshots), к которым может быть произведён откат из любого состояния гостевой системы
• Поддержка Shared Folders для простого обмена файлами между хостовой и гостевой системами
• Поддержка интеграции рабочих столов (seamless mode) хостовой и гостевой ОС
• Есть возможность выбора языка интерфейса (поддерживается и русскоязычный интерфейс).

* Storage: fixed raw disks on Windows hosts (3.2.0 regression; bug #6987)
* LsiLogic: fixed hang with older Linux guests
* BusLogic: fixed hang during I/O
* SATA: set initial number of ports to 1 as some guests can't handle 30 ports (e.g. CentOS 4 and FreeBSD; bug #6984)
* SATA: performance improvement
* SCSI: fixed error when using the full format option during Windows installation (bug #5101)
* iSCSI: fixed authentication (bug #4031)
* Host-only/bridged networking: fixed excessive host kernel warnings under certain circumstances (Linux hosts only; 3.2.0 regression; bug #6872)
* NAT: fixed potential memory leaks
* NAT: increased the size of the memory pool for 16K Jumbo frames (performance tweak)
* NAT: allow to link/unlink the network cable even if the VM is currently paused
* E1000: disconnect cable was not properly handled if the NIC was not yet initialized by the guest
* OVF: export performance optimization
* OVF: upgraded OS type definitions to CIM 2.25.0 so that Windows 7 and other OSes are now tagged correctly on export
* Settings: the setting for disabling the host I/O cache was sometimes not properly saved
* Settings: save machine state into XML correctly even when snapshot folder has been changed to a non-default location (bug #5656)
* USB: allow the guest to disable an EHCI port
* USB: find a valid language ID before querying strings (bug #7034)

* Solaris hosts: fixed VM fails to start on 32-bit hosts (3.2.0 regression; bug #6899)
* Windows hosts (32-bit): increase guest RAM limit if the host kernel allows for more virtual address space
* Linux Additions: re-read a directory after a file was removed (bug #5251)
* Linux Additions: install the DRI driver in the right location on ArchLinux guests (bug #6937)
* X11 Additions: fixed spurious mouse movement events (bug #4260)

* При открытии окружения, созданного в других ОС, связанные со звуковой подсистемой настройки теперь автоматически конвертируются для работы в текущей системе, например, вместо DirectSound используется PulseAudio;
* В Solaris Installer добавлена поддержка удаленной установки;
* Для платформы Windows включено использование родных файловых диалогов, а для KDE наоборот - отключено;
* В реализации поддержки OpenGL устранена проблема с использованием GL_EXT_texture_sRGB;
* Решена регрессивная проблема в реализации формата OVF, появившаяся в версии 3.2.6, приводящая к замедлению операций экспорта и увеличению размера файлов при определенных условиях;
* Устранено несколько связанных с поддержкой USB ошибок. Например, для платформы Linux устранен крах при использовании старых Linux-ядер и при указании в связанных с USB-устройством настройках параметров, содержащих не-ASCII символы;
* Увеличена стабильность при одновременном использовании большого числа виртуальных окружений;
* Устранены проблемы с производительностью при организации сетевого доступа к виртуальному окружению через сетевой мост, в случае если для связанного с мостом устройства установлен режим GRO. Также в реализации поддержки сети на уровне хоста устранено замедляющее работу регрессивное изменение, внесенное в версии 3.2.6;
* В драйвере LsiLogic устранена проблема, приводящая при определенных редких обстоятельствах к ошибкам ввода/вывода;
* Добавлена поддержка организации совместного доступа гостевых окружений к диску без шаманства и использования внешних утилит;
* Для гостевых систем с Solaris устранены проблемы с производительностью при использовании функции совместного доступа к директориям;
* Увеличена производительность и стабильность редиректа видео через RDP;
* Налажен процесс сохранения сетевых настроек NAT в конфигурационном XML-файле, начиная с версии 1.10;
* В Web service включена поддержка HTTP keepalive для увеличения производительности, добавлено отображение времени события в логе, организовано восприятие 8-битных строк как UTF-8, а не ASCII.
* Устранены проблемы с работой гостевых окружений с Xorg 6.8 (например, RHEL4).
