Virtual Box

Innotek created the VirtualBox. It is a virtualization engine. Acquired by Sun, it has gone through a lot of changes. I have installed it on Windows XP and am running Solaris, Ubuntu and Fedora on it. Virtualization that was a distant dream a decade back, has now become a standard. How come?

Thanks to Virtualization instructions now within the CPU, things have simplified. So where are we going now from here? Already we have yesterday's OS becoming Guest OS of today. Will that become a standard for home based PC's and laptops?
