1.6.6 がリリースされたと思ったら、すぐに 2.0.0 がリリースされた。
何を言っているかわからないと（ｒｙ
というわけで、昨晩、Sun xVM VirtualBox 2.0.0 がリリースされました。
Mac OS X や Solaris 10 で Host Network Interface が使えるようになったり、Nevada や OpenSolaris で vnic interface を作成しなくてもよくなったり、64 bit な guest OS をサポートしたりと、大きな変更たくさんですね。
1.6.x で vnic interface を使っていた guest が起動しなくなってます。
network interface の設定で、vnic ではなく通常の interface を指定すればおっけぇです。
＃vnic0 とかじゃなくて、myk0 とか
AMD の Barcelona core でサポートされた Nested Page Table を使えるようになってるので、パフォーマンスあがるみたいですね。
