Bossie Awards 2011: The Best Open Source Desktop and Mobile Software [24556]
Winnners Include VirtualBox VM
Here are the categories for which 2011 Bossie Award winners have been named:
- Best Open Source Software
- Best Open Source Desktop and Mobile Software
- Best Open Source Application Development Software
- Best Open Source Data Center and Cloud Software
VirtualBox won with this endorsement: "A free-to-use and open source virtualization solution for desktop environments, VirtualBox changed hands from Sun to Oracle when the latter bought the former.
