Windows 7 in xVM VirtualBox

January 21st saw the release of 2.1.2 update of a popular desktop virtualization solution – xVM VirtualBox.

As usual, there had been numerous bugfixes and performance improvements, and among the new features came one of the most anticipated features – support for Windows 7 VMs.

Frankly, I am surprised as how well Win7 performed in a VM with just 512Mb!

    I'm pretty much impressed with the stability of Windows 7. It is better than windows Vista which hogs my memory and cpu.~..
