VirtualBox - Installation Package - 02

In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a computer system.
Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical computer.
Their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination.
Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a free virtualization app that does most of the things commercial virtualization apps like VMware Fusion at VMware, and Parallels Desktop at Amazon can do.
