I'm stuck using version 5 because of this issue. That's too bad because it's a very good program.

The virtual box guest doesnt boot when you have allready connect u linux usb device (maybe its a guest addittion version problem)

If you haven't upgraded from 5.2x version, and you use a 32-bit Guest, I recommend you wait until these bugs are addressed. My bet is soon they will be like all the bugs from 5.x versions have, but still, time will tell. :)

Has been a couple of years since I used and as an impulse decided to download a new executable and try it and so far it ran an old file I retained on my disk and is functioning well ... will update after evaluating for a few more weeks/months. Revised my rating to 4 until further testing.

Now works on all Windows Insider Preview Builds. Great program.

Solid. I've been using this as test platforms daily for many years without any issues worth noting. Continues to get better.

I'd give it a 3.5 if I could because it is "free" ... my main problem is every now and then it gets "disconnected" from the VM file and although I've been working with computers as a tool since early 80s I still find it difficult to get the VM file that I've worked with for months to function again and it's usually just easier to start a new one which is disappointing because I lose all the programs and settings ... for all practical purposes it was like a hard disk crash and lose everything.

Huge fan of VB. Been using it for years. Upgraded recently to Win10 and talk about headaches. Even the current version of VB (10.0.2) has issues so did what was recommended and stuck with the beta (5.0.1r102010) and it's pretty stable (VB doesn't crash Win10 anymore after waking Win10 from Hibernation or sleep; sound now works in guests as well which is cool too). I'll wait until the official release of one that states it's Win10 compatible before installling it. Still giving VB 5 stars; well deserved. Just grateful for the fixes that the VB team (and M$ too for that matter) has done to fix the issues that at least works for me now. :)

Pros: Previous versions work great.
Cons: New versions don't work on Windows XP / Vista. Here's the reason why:
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2019 14.27.29112.0 (64-bit) does install but it needs Qt platform which dropped support for Windows Vista or XP. So Virtualbox 7 won't work.
Bottom Line: I'm stuck using version 5 because of this issue. That's too bad because it's a very good program.

Pros: At least 32-bit OS are a bit more stable than previous 6.x versions (i.e. sound not so bad (still not good, but at least not so bad) and programs run within guest aren't so sluggish). :)
Cons: Recovery from set points still crash and waking a VM from saved state also still crashes; hope they soon address this bug. 64-bit VMs appear to not have this bug and didn't with previous 6.x versions either; only 32-bit guests for whatever reason). :)
Bottom Line: If you haven't upgraded from 5.2x version, and you use a 32-bit Guest, I recommend you wait until these bugs are addressed. My bet is soon they will be like all the bugs from 5.x versions have, but still, time will tell. :)

Pros: Price, availability, number of satisfied users, company reputation, frequency of updates.
Cons: Might be awhile before a problem is addressed depending on severity since it is a not-for-profit project.
Bottom Line: Has been a couple of years since I used and as an impulse decided to download a new executable and try it and so far it ran an old file I retained on my disk and is functioning well ... will update after evaluating for a few more weeks/months.

Would be nice if they would fix the "known 3rd party issues" already.
Would love to be able to use again. Not giving up my Comodo and I need network bridging.
So this version gets a 0. Recommand old buids of you run any sort of security app.
