Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.2 has just been released

With support for Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 "Lion Mountain" and Oracle Linux 6.3. VirtualBox also supports drag between N'Drop Linux host and VMs as well as support for VLAN tagging.

One of the technologies which I am a staunch believer is virtualization. I like to have my operating system from scratch but I also like to test other virtualization and there is a fantastic technology. basically we now have within the same physical machine, a set of machines virtual that can run over different operating systems.
VirtualBox is a free application that allows users the full potential of virtualization where we can build a system with all the technical features but in a virtual way not permanent. Today was released the long awaited VirtualBox 4.2. Let's see what's new.
