My previous contributions on this subject were completely ignored by the OP who was actually asking the questions, so I'm not sure why I'm bothering, but anyway: VirtualBox OSE no longer exists as of VirtualBox 4. The whole product is now FOSS and the small proprietary components are bundled into extra Additions, such as USB2 support for guest OSs. As a result, all of VirtualBox 4 is free and Free. There is no need to muck about with 3rd party rebuilds of obsolete versions. The homepage is here: http://www.virtualbox.org/ The Windows version can be downloaded here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads You can run DOS, Windows 3, Windows 9x, and Windows NT/2000/XP under VirtualBox on Win7. Personally, I run Windows 95, 98, NT3, NT4 and XP under 64-bit Ubuntu Linux. The only major PC OS I've found that /doesn't/ work is OS/2. However, this does work under VMware Player, which is freeware but proprietary. -- Liam Proven • Info & profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/lproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AIM/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
