Furthermore you can mount iso\u00b4s directly into the virtual machine and use them as boot device or simply as CD-drive.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I miss is a good Direct 3D integration. Though there is an (experimental) support for D3D, it doesn\u00b4t work to good practically. I tested it with some older games and most of them fail to recognize the virtual graphics adapter as a real D3D compatible graphic card. This is kinda sad, cause it would have been an easy possibility to enjoy older games in a Windows XP or a MSDOS virtual machine.<\/p>\n<p>But as final conclusion &#8211; if you need a free, reliable and fast virtualization software, Sun\u00b4s Virtual Box is your pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I was looking for a virtualization software because I needed a virtual operating system to test stuff and a place to install iTunes where it couldn\u00b4t do any harm.
