Features: As stated above, it allows you to run another Operating System inside of a Virtual 'Box,' hence the name. I have yet to try running a VM inside of the VM though
. They are perfect for testing programs for viruses, compatibility, etc.Personal opinion: [i]In my opinion, it is very easy to use. The only things that I dislike are that for one, the screen resolution will not edit itself to fit my screen, which is bad in a way. Also; when I hover over it, I have to click it and then click out to switch to another workspace.
Rating out of 10: [i]I'd give this a 7.5/10. I would really love for the GUI to enhance, as for the size, and ease of use, There are some confusing parts, but really are not as confusing as they seem.
PS: Sorry for the weak review!

Good review Reality.
Only thing I noticed was that you have some "[i] 's" showing up in the Personal Opinion and Rating section.
Also a "[b]" in the Picture part.
