Makes the same sense than driving formula 1 in a sandbox.

You can easily read the changelog just like the rest of us. As far as I can see, support for Android hosts has not been announced.

In any case, as was already discussed earlier in the thread, even if you compiled VirtualBox yourself and somehow got it to run on your Android phone; your typical phone or tablet has the wrong processor, and not enough RAM or disk space, so you still couldn't run Windows. So the attraction of going to all that work of porting VBox to an Android host... escapes me.

There is Android for x86.

But with less RAM and such crappy processors you can only emulate a defect PC in real time.

As i want to say with my VW Golf compare: Wrong platform, not enough RAM, wrong processor, not enough resolution, slowly, ...
