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. That hasn't changed the pace or tenor of its development, though, and the last few revisions -- including a major update to the left of the decimal point -- have continued to pile on reasons to ditch commercial alternatives. For anyone who even dabbles in virtualization, it's gone from useful to must-have."
