Tested on Tested on my Acer 4520 with ubuntu hardy 8.04.2 and windows XP guest

I Have upgrade my virtualbox from 2.0 to virtualbox 2.1.0 . I am happy with the new feature that include in this releases. There is no more Manual TUN and TAP to bridging between Host OS and Guest OS. Maybe I am late to know about it cause it releases on november 2008, and i have test it on february 2009. Usually i just connect to virtualbox to test new software or test my new Operating System. But now there i a lot feature that must i digg to become better .

From now on I can test my application that need connect to internet without tunneling . I am also ready to upgrade to virtualbox 2.1.2 with some changelog.

For version 2.1.0 , The changelog file say :

* Support for hardware virtualization (VT-x and AMD-V) on Mac OS X hosts
