VirtualBox 3.0.0 Final es un programa de virtualización . VirtualBox 3.0.0 Final está disponible para su ejecución en sistemas Windows y Linux de 32-bits (aunque hay también una versión beta para MacOS X) y es capaz de virtualizar Windows, Linux (versión del núcleo 2.x), OS/2 Warp, OpenBSD y FreeBSD.

Comparado con otros programas de virtualización como VMware o Virtual PC, VirtualBox carece de algunas funcionalidades, pero a cambio aporta otras como: ejecución remota de máquinas virtuales utilizando Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), soporte para iSCSI y soporte para USB con dispositivos remotos sobre RDP.

Lista de Cambios en VirtualBox 3.0.0 Final
The following major new features were added:
•Guest SMP with up to 32 virtual CPUs (VT-x and AMD-V only; see chapter 3.7.2.2 of the user manual)
•Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental; see chapter 4.8 of the user manual)
•Support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests
In addition, the following items were ?xed and/or added:
•Solaris hosts: allow suspend/resume on the host when a VM is running (bug #3826)
•Solaris hosts: loosen the restriction for contiguous physical memory under certain conditions
•Mac OS X hosts: ?xed guest PAE
•Linux hosts: kernel module compile ?xes for 2.6.31 (bug #4264)
•VMM: ?xed occasional guru meditation when loading a saved state (VT-x only)
•VMM: eliminated IO-APIC overhead with 32 bits guests (VT-x only, some Intel CPUs don’t support this feature (most do); bug #638)
•VMM: ?xed 64 bits CentOS guest hangs during early boot (AMD-V only; bug #3927)
•VMM: performance improvements for certain PAE guests (e.g. Linux 2.6.29+ kernels)
•VMM: some Windows guests detected a completely wrong CPU frequency (bug #2227)
•VMM: ?xed hanging and unkillable VM processes (bug #4040)
•VMM: ?xed random infrequent guest crashes due to XMM state corruption (Win64 hosts only)
•VMM: performance improvements for network I/O (VT-x/AMD-V only)
•GUI: added mini toolbar for fullscreen and seamless mode (Thanks to Huihong Luo)
•GUI: redesigned settings dialogs
•GUI: allow to create/remove more than one host-only network adapters (non Windows hosts)
•GUI: display estimated time for long running operations (e.g. OVF import/export)
•GUI: ?xed rare hangs when open the OVF import/export wizards (bug #4157)
•3D support: ?xed VM crashes for client applications using incorrect OpenGL states
•3D support: ?xed memory corruption when querying for supported texture compression formats
•3D support: ?xed incorrect rendering of glDrawRangeElements
•3D support: ?xed memory leak when using VBOs
•3D support: ?xed glew library detection
•3D support: ?xed random textures corruption
•VRDP: support Windows 7 RDP client
•Networking: ?xed another problem with TX checksum of?oading with Linux kernels up to version 2.6.18
•NAT: ?xed “open ports on virtual router 10.0.2.2 – 513, 514” (forum)
•NAT: allow to con?gure socket and internal parameters
•NAT: allow to bind sockets to speci?c interface
•PXE boot: signi?cant performance increase (VT-x/AMD-V only)
•VHD: properly write empty sectors when cloning of VHD images (bug #4080)
•VHD: ?xed crash when discarding snapshots of a VHD image
•VHD: ?xed access beyond the block bitmap which could lead to arbitrary crashes
•VBoxManage: ?xed incorrect partition table processing when creating VMDK ?les giving raw partition access (bug #3510)
•VBoxManage: support cloning to existing image ?le
•OVF: several OVF 1.0 compatibility ?xes
•OVF: ?xed exporting of disk images when multiple virtual machines are exported at once
•Virtual mouse device: eliminated micro-movements of the virtual mouse which were confusing some applications (bug #3782)
•Shared Folders: sometimes a ?le was created using the wrong permissions (2.2.0 regression; bug #3785)
•Shared Folders: allow to change ?le attributes from Linux guests and use the correct ?le mode when creating ?les
•Shared Folders: some content was incorrectly written under certain conditions (bug #1187)
•Shared Folders: ?xed incorrect ?le timestamps, when using Windows guest on a Linux host (bug #3404)
•X11 clipboard: ?x duplicate end of lines (bug #4270)
•X11 guests: a number of shared clipboard ?xes
•Linux guests: Guest Additions support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11
•Linux guests: new daemon vboxadd-service to handle time synchronization and guest property lookup
•Linux guests: implemented guest properties (OS info, logged in users, basic network information)
•Windows host installer: VirtualBox Python API can now be installed automatically (requires Python and Win32 Extensions installed)
•USB: Support for high-speed isochronous endpoints has been added. In addition, read-ahead buffering is performed for input endpoints (currently Linux hosts only). This should allow additional devices to work, notably webcams (bug #242).
•USB: ?xed error handling for some USB dongles
•Web service: ?xed inability to handle NULL pointers for object arguments, which are valid values for a lot of APIs, in both the raw and the object-oriented web service.
•Web service: object-oriented bindings for JAX-WS did not exhibit interface inheritance correctly, ?xed
•Web service: added support for IDisplay and IGuest interfaces, which were previously unavailable
•Registration dialog uses Sun Online accounts now
