Sun has released VirtuaiBox 3.0, a major update introducing Symmetrical Multiprocessing (SMP) in virtual machines as well as improved 3D support. The following major new features were also added: Guest SMP with up to 32 virtual CPUs (VT-x 13 and AMD-V only); for Windows guests there is the ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications/games (experimental); and support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests. Besides these, there are numerous other fixes and improvements. In fact, within 10 days of the initial 3.0.0 announcement, version 3.0.2 was released as a maintenance update with additional bug fixes.
