Oracle Virtualbox 5.0.4 Release !!

테크넷 마스터 김재벌입니다.

어찌어찌 하다 보니 , 제가 지금 태국에 머물고 있는데 , 여기 호텔 네트워크가 거의....2g 수준...

거의 네트워크가 멘붕 수준이라...

이런 여건에서 포스팅하는게 쉽지가 않습니다만...일단 그래도 시도는 +_+ ;

오라클에서 버추얼박스 5.0.4를 2-3일전에 출시 했네요.

5.0.2 를 바로 5.0.4로 업그레이드 했는데 , 여러가지 버그와 기능 개선이 있습니다.

당장 윈도우 10 관련한 문제도 꽤 많이 해결한 것으로 보이네요.

얼마전에 공개된 VMware workstation 12 pro 와의 경쟁이 기대되는 이유 입니다..

설치 과정은 기존 버전들과 다르지 않습니다.



 --중략--
