Submission + - Press release: innotek releases VirtualBox 1.5 (innotek.de)
innotek writes: "Stuttgart, Germany, September 3, 2007. innotek today released VirtualBox 1.5.0 for Windows and Linux. Major new features and many small improvements make this update a very significant software release.
A new "seamless" windowing mode allows the windows of a VM to integrate directly with your Linux or Windows desktop — making VirtualBox the first product to offer this support on the Windows and Linux platforms.
In addition, VirtualBox now supports 64-bit versions of Windows as a host operating system, and IBM OS/2 Warp is now fully supported as a guest operating system, including Guest Additions. Version 1.5.0 also adds support for serial ports and comes with a fully standard compliant Intel PXE network boot agent.
A full changelog is available here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog
As with its predecessors, VirtualBox 1.5.0 is available both as Open Source under the GPL as well as under a commercial license which, in most cases, allows you to use the product free of charge. Packages for Windows and a large number of Linux distributions are available at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
