VirtualBox (virtual machine)

Turn your PC into an easy-to-use virtualization platform with Sun VirtualBox, the enterprise-class open source software that runs on all major operating systems and eliminates the need for tradeoffs or multiple hardware systems.

Sun VirtualBox supports any operating system as a guest OS, giving you the flexibility to develop applications on your platform of choice. Which means you can run Windows in a virtual machine on a Mac or Linux platform, or run Solaris OS and Windows applications right alongside Apple applications on your MacBook.
