The newest version of Sun’s xVM Virtualbox adds support for Apple’s OSX. The new version is dubbed Version 1.6 and was released during last week’s CommunityDays event.
This is the first open source virtualization to support the Mac, and while the support is not yet complete (you can only run OSX as a host, not a guest) it could become a real competitor to VMWare and Xen.
There are two versions, community and proprietary. Both are available as free downloads, but the latter is only free for personal use. The proprietary version also includes USB support and a Remote Display Protocol (RDP) server.
