Virtual Software Development

Oracle VM VirtualBox is very useful for testing software in a safe environment where your main computer is protected against faults and corruption. It is also useful for running software on older or even newer operating systems than that of your master computers operating system.

How many of us still have an old game or two that will only run on Windows XP or Windows 98 or even Windows 95!. Now you can run your old stuff within a virtual environment rather than struggle using Vista or Windows 7 compatibility options that often don't work!
