8 Because Oracle VM VirtualBox is designed to provide a generic
9 virtualization environment for x86 systems, it can run guest
10 operating systems (OSes) of any kind.
11 </p>
12 <p>
13 The following guest OS platforms are supported:
14 </p>
15 <ul>
16 <li>
17 <p><b outputclass="bold">Platforms With Full Support.</b>
18 These guest OS platforms qualify for Oracle Premier Support.
19 See <xref href="#guestossupport/table-premier-support"/>.
20 </p>
21 </li>
22 <li>
23 <p><b outputclass="bold">Platforms With Limited
24 Support.</b> These legacy guest OS platforms can be
25 used with Oracle VM VirtualBox, but only qualify for <i>best
26 effort</i> support. Therefore, resolution of customer
27 issues is not guaranteed. See
28 <xref href="#guestossupport/table-limited-support"/>.
