Sun Microsystems has announced the latest version of xVM VirtualBox, its free and open source desktop virtualisation software, as well as xVM VirtualBox Software Enterprise Subscription, for all day, every day premium support for enterprise users.

For the first time enterprises can reap the benefits of the xVM VirtualBox platform and deploy it across their organisations with guaranteed technical support. xVM VirtualBox software is the first major open source hypervisor to support the most popular host operating systems, including Mac OS X, Linux, Windows, Solaris and OpenSolaris.

Users of xVM VirtualBox 2.0 software will now benefit from support for 64-bit versions of operating systems like Windows Vista and RedHat Enterprise Linux, in addition to all other major host operating systems.

The software also offers a user interface for the Mac platform, improved networking for the Mac OS X and Solaris OS as well as improved performance, especially on AMD chips.
