  • ok, and how about gaming 3D in virtual windows 7???

  • @WandererOfWorlds90 It's because linux is under GNU Free liscence and OSX... You get it.

  • I hate instructional videos with no vocal explanations.

  • @TechSupport100 it's not instructional, just showing it off.

  • Can I connect my ipod touch to the mac virtual box

  • como hago para poner el mac en pantalla completa??? y compartir archivos

  • @Danielmontefontt2010 Eres pinche cabron tu debes chuparme

  • You should not tamper with primal forces of nature.

  • If you ignore the icon bar at the bottom of the screen, Mac and Ubuntu look strikingly similar. They both also share the Unix heritage. Quite ironic that one is extremely proprietary and the other is so free :).

  • @WandererOfWorlds90 Firstly, the ubuntu Unity desktop was designed long after Aqua, the OS X GUI. It was basically made as an imitation of the OS X GUI. If you've ever used the Unity desktop, you'd know that it is far from being nearly as functional as the OS X GUi, and needs a lot of work. Many supporters of Ubuntu are unhappy with Unity, and prefer Gnome. Finally, the only thing ironic about your post is your misuse of the word "irony," which is one of the most misused English words.

  • @tightlypackedcoil That isn't the Unity desktop in the video, that is Gnome 2 which does look quite similar to the Mac OS X desktop, which is just fine of course. Wanderer wasn't wrong about that. But yeah the word irony was misused.

  • Hey, where did the article that went with this video go?

  • You have to have a slightly faster computer, in any case a good graphics card will work flawlessly the entire VirtualBox. I have ubuntu 10.10. (64bits) on my laptop as Operating System, without VB to me like it very much, very stable and fast. Gr. Adriaan, Rotterdam

  • 47,000th view

  • Wow, i'm so happy now, after try and retry to install Ubuntu on my notebook, finally i get it with virtualbox! *_* now someday when realtek send a real good driver, Linux will be my main OS.

  • haha so which one is ur main operating system ?

  • As a Windows user , Apple fanboys bash both windows and ubuntu all the time.

    Sorry that we can do more

    Jack asses

    Windows and Ubuntu are the best.

  • @bubbajimmy8 I'd use Ubuntu exclusively if there weren't so many good Windows applications out there, but I think Ubuntu is definitely a worthy competitor to Mac and Windows.

  • how do i get the osx iso?

    i also need win xp!

  • how do i get the osx iso?

  • Hmm...VirtualBox looks much more intriguing now. Though I can't be sure how powerful the computer was that filmed this XD

  • A beautiful design website

  • Comment removed

  • Why would you want to run all three OS's on one system??? It all sounds a bit geeky to me.

  • @forzascalea this can be done with a triple boot, no need for a virtual setup :P how's that for geeky :) (meant to be humorous, not mean in any way)

  • Another annihilated Macboy moron who has to use deflection tactics whenever he loses an argument.

    I'd say we're done here. Yet again I reign victorious.

  • @TheUberDeity

    You're both morons for trolling.

  • @ThereAreApplesNow

    Ohhhh that hurts :) No really, I promise!

  • sk8dudejames = 0

    TheUberDeity = 2,000,000

    I love slaughtering pathetic, newbie peons.

  • @TheUberDeity

    This comment alone shows how childish you are. You aren't worth my time. Maybe you'll grow up once you get your GED. Maybe just maybe.

    Kid.

  • Virtualization happens very elegantly on Ubuntu thanks to Compiz. Its a much better experience than windows and OSX. I actually had a setup like that for a couple of months, but the issues I had with the video driver on the virtual machine had me going back to real.

  • I assume OS X was the host, correct?

  • i don't understand the point of posting this video...whats so special about this?

  • @Iceman3CRO Three operating systems running at the same time side by side

    This means you could design in Photoshop while you play Counterstrike and manage your private webserver!

  • @Jesusability yeah good idea but try doing those tree things at once XD

    and by the way, for all that too run you should have good hardware which would be a problem for most of the people :D

    thanks for the answer!

  • @Jesusability You could do all three of those from Windows...

  • @tres9027 Fanboy.

  • @Jesusability You could not do all three in Linux or OS X. You could do all three in Windows. How does that make me a fanboy?

  • @tres9027 All three can be done on all platforms.

  • hahahahahahaha

    Ubuntu > Firefox

    Mac OS > Safari

    Windows > Intern... [Google Chrome] (Y)

  • @stillFLiP lol

  • @stillFLiP hhhahaaha

  • @stillFLiP all can use firefox, which is the best choice on all operating systems

  • I miss the vic 20, trs 80, and the Texas Instruments TI 99

  • WHAT HAPPENED TO COMMODOR 64? :S

  • My preffs:

    Windows 7 > Ubuntu > Mac OS

    Windows 7 because I'm a gamer, and if I cannot have Windows 7, I would never use Mac.

  • @lh4l93 Couldn't agree more!

  • @lh4l93 And who would care?

  • so what os is this virtualbox running in

  • ZOMG that must've lagged like crazy

  • BRING BACK MSDOS!

  • WINDOWS 7 HOORAY!!!

  • you should use aero transparent themes if you got the RAM! they look 10x better :)

  • i prefer osx. tutorial on how to install osx please?

  • @quadsnipable hackintosh??

  • @blobrockster mac os on non mac hardware is a hackintosh. this was most likly not, it probly was mac osx running ubuntu and win xp in virtual box. (zOMG that must have lagged like fuck....)

  • The best of those is..., Windows XP

  • Why is everybody so hot about ubuntu? I mean you don't have the compatibility of a windows with games and all and you have almost nothing in the way of media programs like a mac. How is ubuntu better?

  • @kevluv93

    Ubuntu is free. programs in linux are free. There is no need to pay like we pay on windows or mac

  • @kevluv93 Try it and you'll see why it's better. And by trying I don't mean 5 minutes, I mean at least 1 month.

    Oh and you can play games on Ubuntu, just not all of them(thats because of the game producers not because of Ubuntu). Either way... a computer is a working station not a game console, PS and Xbox are for that.

  • @ACPCalin It's because of microsoft making DirectX technology proprietary. ot the game designers or Canonical's fault.

  • @kevluv93 the only reason games and certain media creation programs don't exist (or there aren't any proper replacements) is because it's open source and some people think they shouldn't create things for it. If you only use your computer for web, music and video then ubuntu is waaaaayy better (in my opinion).

  • @kevluv93 it's not ubuntu that make it so hot, it's linux

  • what computer was this run on?

  • Well ubuntu's price is right ;-)

  • UBUNTU SEM DUVIDA

  • So can we use this to design apps for iOS ?

  • window has gone to shit

  • ubuntu is pretty nice.

  • i dont get what this is. explain please

    Does this mean i can make my comuter run like a mac?

  • @ChaoticMatters Not completely sure but i believe he is running an Ubuntu OS and by using the Virtualbox program he is able to run the other 2 OS's simultaneously as a separate program? that maybe be incorrect but thats what it looks like.

  • @xrokr It's because he's not running Windows 7 in Aero. XD

  • windows seven!! <3

  • Mac OS X

    Windows 7

    Then Linux

    because open source free OS's will never be as good Windows or Mac period. It is great but it is on a completely different level from both. Linux is for geeks that know how to code and develop their own applications for the OS.

    It's like the idiots who say GIMP is just as good as Adobe Photoshop or OpenOffice being just as good as Microsoft Office. They are on a completely different level.

    Who supports your system when something goes wrong, oh yea, nobody.

  • ubuntu is the best

  • @maplebeats ya but half the shit you download on the internet wont work

  • @maplebeats rofl, not

  • @maplebeats hell yeah !

  • Windows 7 all the way.

  • I like Linux and Windows. I like the mobile Mac OS but not for computers, I don't find it as intuitive and easy to use as Linux and Windows.

    I prefer Windows because I'm more used to it, it has a lot of features and they're easy to access, and it's compatible with pretty much all software and hardware. What I don't like about Windows is that - because of all the features and compatibility - it's easy for it to become "bloated". The solution is to clean it up every now and then.

  • @wildbloodydragon

    That's not a solution, that is just a band-aid to cover up the problem.

  • @sk8dudejames If your shirt smells like shit, what do you do with it? Reinvent it?

  • Mac  - Linux - Win

  • Follow the arrow! Linux <-- Ubuntu <-- OS X <-- Other OS <-- Windows (SUX)

    Linux is the BEST OS EVER!

  • @agitdd99 Enjoy all your programs... wait what programs

  • @poilut2 free and open source programs/apps...wait, you don't even use these on your OS? too bad

  • @agitdd99 I Agree Linux is the best Os ★.。.:*・

  • @agitdd99 I Agree Linux is the best Os ever made

  • I love Mac :)

  • same speed, is just about miliseconds 

  • Linux > All

  • What is this supposed to be about?

  • Ubuntu, for those who don't know, is a Linux distro. That is to say that Ubuntu is a graphic interface based on the Linux kernel. A kernel is what connects the hardware together and lets it work together. Ubuntu is the best parts of windows while being virus free like the mac os. Oh, it's FREE.

  • where did you get the OS X iso?

  • @81335022 Most likely it's a mac that's running all three OS's at once. Or it could be a hackintosh. Either way, it's legitimate OSX.

  • Windows 7 is the best for me. But I use windows Xp. :)

  • What is the host system running?

    Collary question, on what hardware is the host system running?

    It's all just fun-n-games and eye-candy till you see the bill for all that RAM, CPU, and high end grafx

  • i can't believe I actually bought windows 7. All it does is crash, and half the games don't work on it (plus it has thousands of bugs). Until they make a better windows, I'm sticking to XP. Anyway, it's till beter then mac os. On Mac OS, you can only run apple apps (as far as I know), you can't play 99% of all games, and Itunes is the only music player. I never even heard of Ubuntu, so i can't say anything about it.

  • @NshadowAssasin new software requires sufficient hardware to run it. I cant stand retards who go on about how vista and windows 7 have all of these bugs, when in reality it was because they didnt upgrade their completely outdated system.

  • @naguto intel core dual processor (2.95), 4gb ram, sapphire hd 5750 1024 mb.

    i can't stand retards that always think they know what's the problem and assume that whatever they use/have, is better then other models of the same thing

  • Windows = Best :D

    Ubuntu = i dont even know :S

    OSX = For ppl who dont get computers :P

  • @EMPZHAR Ubuntu is the best :D

  • @NawafLol Alrighty then...

    Best = Windows and Ubuntu ;)

    OSX = Still for ppl who dont get computers. :P

  • @EMPZHAR Ohhh and Ubuntu is for people WHO know computers

  • @EMPZHAR = someone who doesn't get computers :P Ubuntu = great for nerds :S OSX = great for people who are sick of all the following: -viruses -crashes -random physical memory dumps -overheating crashes -blue screens -un-originality -updates that reset the whole computer -memory leaks -resource hogs -AKA Windows The only thing they have going for them is games but here is a solution, buy a video game console. That's what it is made for.
  • @sk8dudejames Are you implying that OSX somehow runs components cooler? My Q6600 running 10.6.3 still idles at 48 when my Phenom II x4 in Win7 idles at 38c. Also, PC gaming enables user freedom... something that will never come to consoles.

  • @PObserver

    Okay that was a bit unfair of me since that is a hardware issue. But needless to say it enables nerds freedom. Modern gamers could give a shit less if they could customize, mod or download free games to play on PC's. But either way Steam has came to Apple anyway and every machine can handle it. Look at Windows ones, you'll have too many processes eating memory leaks before a game will even run decently.

  • @sk8dudejames Of course modern gamers don't care about customization, they are new and uninitiated. "Every machine can handle Apple." Well their "Apple" branded nVidia cards will have some issues. Windows is alright but it's not a multitasking system. Apart from GNU/Linux, Windows and OSX, have you ever used another OS? I restored a SGI Workstation just to see IRIX, I have a feeling a lot of your beliefs are just "lol i herd mac dont get virus".

  • @PObserver you just failed on a few occasions:

    Took incorrect quotes from my reply: "every machine can handle it." Did I write Apple, no you just implied that, I was referring to every Apple machine can run games just fine. Can every Windows machine? Nope.

    Windows isn't even built for gamers, it is built for business and corporate people. And saying Windows is not a multitasking system is really ignorant for too many reasons to list in these limited comments.

    I talked about viruses once -.-

  • @sk8dudejames No, they cannot. Some Apples have integrated video along with the chipset. Anything can play "games" if you really want to bring this discussion to a premature end. Microsoft develops DirectX and it's the platform almost all PC games use. Windows is not for multitasking simply because of how the kernel operates and how the filesystem (NTFS) writes. I think I'm a little more qualified than a teenager to discuss the differences of OSes.

  • @PObserver

    Funny how you assume I am a teenager, yet you are the one arguing over the topic of video games. I said Windows can run game, did I ever argue that. No. That is where you fail. But how can one last through a video through constant crashes and blue screen, from memory leaks and hidden processes running on the common consumers PC.

    Funny how what I assume to be another "Adult" to be on the defending side, using Video Games (products geared at children and teens) as their shield.

  • @sk8dudejames I haven't seen a BSOD since 2006 when my last HDD died. I troubleshoot BSODs on a daily basis, and most of them are user caused.

  • @PObserver Well actually, it was 2009 when one stick of RAM was failing on my Hackintosh but it wasn't a BSOD... and memory fails.

  • @sk8dudejames

    Honestly, stop talking. Steam on Mac is comprised 3/4 of games that we all beat on PC 4 years ago. Even Left 4 Dead 2 is based on the Source Engine, which came out in 2005.

    And no, Macs CAN'T run any game, at least not at any respectable speeds. IGN just posted an article proving that a 2-year old Macbook Pro is INCAPABLE of running Starcraft II at High or Ultra settings.

    The current $1999 iMac only gets 28 FPS at 1680x1050. A $1000 PC? 110FPS at the same resolution.

  • @TheUberDeity

    ...even stated that Windows only has video games going for them. Thats it.

    The common consumer buys a computer to multi-task, not to play video games. And either way for the price of a good pc to even run the games proficient enough, you could buy yourself a great console and a hand full of great games with it. And oh wait, it will work because thats what it's built to do: Play video games.

    Quit being a child and grow up, your only defense is video games.

    Seriously? Childish.

  • @sk8dudejames

    PCs do everything that is the difference. for the price tag it is not worth it. and mac pro isnt the most powerful laptop. where did u get that from? Uber slays you dude. go troll somewhere else macboy

  • @eyeinsistGT3

    Kicking this little kid's ass doesn't even break a sweat. What a shame nobody told him that OSX kernel panics constantly, and is the least secure OS in the world (Charlie Miller, a former NSA operative and self-admitted Mac lover proves it all the time). Oh well, let him buy his over-expensive Macbook.

    A 2 year old Macbook Pro can't even run SCII on High or Ultra settings. 2 years old!!! Proof that Macs go obsolete in 1 year. Evidence speaks for itself.

  • @eyeinsistGT3 apple computers are overpriced toys. the os is nifty but in regards to the hardware for price, it's just a toy. for the same $2000 or so of a mac, you can build a pc that kicks it's ass and then some. last I knew mac doesn't even have a blue ray drive from the factory, I've seen some $600-800 PC's come with those from the manufacturer. that's my only gripe with the mac itself. bfd if it's a fancy case, it's not that hard to case mod a pc to be better than a mac's and cheaper.

  • @sk8dudejames

    Now I've been reading the comments you're posting. You're getting the living snot beat out of you by several different (and entirely smarter) people than you, so give it up.  I'm just here to add the icing onto the cake. Your talk of memory leaks is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S, and you're either making shit up, lying through your teeth, or you managed to fuck up Windows SO BADLY that there's no turning back.

    Don't post in here. You're not NEARLY qualified enough on tech-knowledge.

  • @TheUberDeity

    "You're getting the living snot beat out of you by several different (and entirely smarter) people than you"

    Only 1 person has replied that had any sense. That alone is enough for me to not even regard anything you say. Just like most Windows users, you know how to exaggerate.

    It isn't ridiculous, go ahead an even Google it, or wait you being a fan boy will probably Bing it.

    Lets see all the problems with mac: Near to none, I never said they played games greatly. I even ...

  • @sk8dudejames

    Keep fooling yourself. It sounds like you're University educated in the subject. My comments still stand 100% true. So sorry.

  • @TheUberDeity

    Yes, because everything you say = fact. You should really learn the difference between fact or opinion.

    Lets look at the facts like how you can't deny the Mac Book Pro is the most powerful laptop computer out right now. And now look at the latest iMac.

    OS X is much more stable than Windows OS, and if you are really going to deny that, then you are just a fanboy.

    Main fact is: The common consumer wants a computer that works, not one the will play video games.

    Kid.

  • @sk8dudejames

    Hahahahaha!!! The MAC PRO?? Both the Clevo X8100 and the ASUS G73JH-A2 SLAUGHTER the Macbook line without batting an eyelash!!

    And you're talking about FACTS to me?

    You just got slaughtered, KID. Case closed. Your ass LOSES. That's what makes me so magnificent. Good luck competing.

    The latest iMac averaged 28FPS on Starcraft II at 1680x1050 and cost $1999.

    A $1000 PC? 112 FPS at the same resolution.

    Die screaming :) I win again.

  • @TheUberDeity

    I fail to see when we started looking at computers based on which ones run Starcraft 2.

    We keep switching from hardware to software, which are both completely different subjects. Even IF you had great hardware to run Windows, the OS is so bloated and flawed and unstable anyway.

    Look at your channel. You are a fanboy, you even bash Linux! You bash anything that isn't Windows. I bet you even have a Windows mobile phone and a Zune.

    You don't know shit about software, kid.

  • @sk8dudejames

    You don't know shit about ANYTHING, kid. Stop trying to compete with your elders and just admit that you're a young pup with TONS to learn. I'll be happy to school you, with or without your consent.

    Just to hurt you more, I'm a Photonic Engineer who owns his own business selling Industrial Lasers.

    When you can tell me what the default Lens amplitude is on an S163 focusing lens with a 6" marking diameter, then you'll gain my respect.

    I'm waiting, boy! Let's hear your answer!

  • @TheUberDeity Trollface.jpg dude.

  • @TLKshoop

    Yawwwwwwn. Is that the best you've got, kitten?

  • @TheUberDeity Oh boy. This guy knows shit about lasers. Must make him an 31337 hack on steroids with computers.

  • @tres9027

    Yeah well, when you can successfully merge an A and B into a mainline in Linux, then you can come back here and jab all you want, okay Champ?

  • @sk8dudejames Suuurrrreee... :P

  • Flame Bait..... New study shows 90% of Ubuntu users still live in parents basement...

  • @1973jmg

    lol

  • Never even heard of Ubuntu..

  • @DNDerek Its awesome !

  • the only good thing in this video was the soundtrack

  • lolyou cant do real computer anymations or computing on a mac or ubuntu! lol windows 7 has direct X 11!

  • @camargo2012 LOL

  • Hey everyone I need 100 more views on my video by the end of the day... It is possible with your help! Thanks ☺

  • Haha people are just now learning about virtualization. N00bs ~~ posted from my Hackintosh

  • Comment removed

  • They are running Windows 7 and OSX over Ubuntu. Ubuntu is on the of the best Linux Distributions out there. Love Linux! But All Hail the Mac King :)

  • Just get windows xp, put a windows 7 theme on it, and install object dock... and no one likes ubuntu.

  • @FredyATX

    You make no sense dude, windows XP sucks atm... it was good in the past, but now its a piece o shitty software that only 7 hatters use. Windows 7 do all that XP do faster and better. And ofc you need a better machine because you cant play xbox games on a snes...

  • @ilidiandemon I was just makin a joke... calm down.

  • @ilidiandemon Are you an idiot?

    Do you know anything about OS or computers?

    Newer doesn't mean better, of faster.

    It's been proven multiple times that XP is faster and more efficient than Windows 7.

    W7 takes up more of your computer's resources and power to run, and less power to do watever you need.

    While XP takes up less, and gives your MORE power.

    NOOB!!!

  • @MindlessEduardo windows 7 has better memory management, it uses more ram because it caches better than xp.

  • @MindlessEduardo Don't know what reviews you've been reading but I've heard exactly the opposite. XP is becoming dated, it can't do 3d tasks as well as vista and can't touch 7 in 3d. XP takes less because it's practically ancient, I've run it on 120 mb of ram and definitely doesn't give the same power. XP is GREAT and significantly better than anything mac puts out simply because it's more flexible. W7 is a greatly improved XP not a minorly improved vista.

  • @MindlessEduardo Do you know that ubuntu is much faster than XP and 7 !

  • @MindlessEduardo

    no, youre idiot and retarded. And a son of a motherless ogre too :P

    Taking less resources isnt giving you less power to work... is telling you that you should get a better computer. When you have a REALLY GOOD machine you see clearly how faster 7 is in EVERYTHING.

    yes.. yes.. XP run faster and better in your P4 CPU troll noobtard...

  • @ilidiandemon I never said taking less resources means less power.

    I said less resources means more power.

    Yeah sure, but nowadays.

    Who would have a REALLY GOOD machine?

    All the machines I've used are pentium 4 or Duo Core.

    By really good, what would the specs be?

    i5? 4GB DDR3 Ram?

  • @MindlessEduardo I would point to MaximumPC's "Dream Machine" for a really good computer. However since your stuck on p4s I would say something in the i7 range with 6gb-12gb and a gtx 460 would blow your mind.

  • @MindlessEduardo OMGZ DOS TAKEZ UP EVEN LESZ SPACE DUDEZ!

    w7 has been shown to boot faster on the same, adequate, hardware as XP. And XP doesn't have Aero or Live search to deal with.

  • OS X? how? its not even an option in WS 7.0

  • @MyNameNoLongerExists do some research fanboy

  • @MyNameNoLongerExists Not true

  • @MyNameNoLongerExists Sure, because mommy and daddy paid for it. ;)

  • lol does anyone know the song?

  • "Windows 7 system running OS X and Ubuntu through VirtualBox"

  • Is os x running in VB as well or are ubuntu and win7 running on top of mac os x?

  • @tyler43636 looks like they're running all three on top of OS X.

  • @tyler43636 It says in the title, all of them are running in virtual box.

  • great tune!
