Re: Terminology
A list of definitions... but what is your point?
Though none of your definitions are in fact correct.
VirtualBox = brand name of the software.
VM = Acronym meaning "Virtual Machine" (not necessarily in VirtualBox).
VDI = Virtual Disk Image. One of the file types used by a VirtualBox VM, don't worry about what it does until you have more experience. In the meantime treat all files as important for backup purposes.
