There's also a preview version for Apple Arm Silicon-based Macs.
On macOS, it no longer uses kernel extensions, relying entirely on the OS's built-in hypervisor tools – necessary as macOS 11 and later deprecated support for third-party kernel extensions. Some other changes in its integration with host OSes are less visible but should prove useful. The GUI has been streamlined, with better integration of help and error messages and the ability to easily tweak settings such as the number of CPU cores during VM creation. The new version adds remote control of VMs hosted in the cloud and support for encrypted VMs too – although for now, that is only available from the command line. VirtualBox 7.0 is the latest version of the FOSS hypervisor that Oracle acquired along with Sun Microsystems in 2009 – barely more than a year after Sun acquired VirtualBox's developer, Innovision.
