VirtualBox for Mac

VirtualBox for Mac is a free and open-source virtualization software that allows you to run multiple operating systems (OS) on your Mac simultaneously. With VirtualBox, you can create virtual machines (VMs) to install and use different OSes, such as Windows, Linux, or older versions of macOS, all within macOS.

Key Features:

Multiple OS Support: VirtualBox supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux distributions, macOS (on compatible hardware), Solaris, and more.

Seamless Integration: It allows you to run guest OSes alongside your macOS, offering features like shared folders, drag-and-drop file transfers, and clipboard sharing between the host and guest systems.

Snapshots: VirtualBox lets you take snapshots of a virtual machine’s current state, so you can easily revert to a previous configuration if needed.

High Customization: Users can customize resources like CPU, RAM, disk space, and network settings for each virtual machine to optimize performance.

Virtual Networking: VirtualBox supports complex networking configurations, such as host-only networking, bridged networking, and NAT, for connecting VMs to the internet or local networks.

Free and Open-Source: VirtualBox is free to use, with community-driven development and regular updates to enhance functionality and performance.

VirtualBox is an ideal solution for users who need to test or run different operating systems without needing additional physical hardware. It is compatible with macOS and is widely used for software development, testing, and running legacy applications.
