VirtualBox 2.0.2 es un programa de virtualización . VirtualBox 2.0.2 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.
