From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you paying for a Virtual box commercial license? They change for every employee in the company not just active users.

Just use KVM and be done with it. You can get the Windows guest drivers and addons from the Fedora project

They only charge for the “extension pack” ( which is different from “guest additions”
