Snapshots with immutable images not expected to work correctly -- "VBox 3.1b1 known issues": http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=24459&start=0 Bit of a bummer. VM states can now be restored from arbitrary snapshots instead of only the last one, and new snapshots can ...

...I'm abandoning the whole thing, leaving ...this forum... Great news! :D Us Windows-bashing Linux kernel core-team developers couldn't be happier, right Etepetete? ;) In all seriously, responses like this are entirely unproductive. If he thinks pointing out that VirtualPC only officiailly needs t...

If the software is made for a small and private group of people, then OK, but since the program is made for everyone (else it wouldn't be available for free download) So it's perfectly sensible for me to request the Linux kernel to support CP/M-style drive letters? Or for Python's syntax to become ...

The rest sounds like 'We are the devs so we decide what gets put in and we don't give a what the people want. the public'. Indeed it does sound like that to me. It's exactly the public that uses this product. Am I not a member of the public because I don't demand that VirtualBox support the feature...

I never said implementing drag and drop would be easy. Sure you did. I simply fail to see any reason why drag and drop still hasn't been done. VirtualBox's development team is obviously a capable one (so we rule out lack of knowledge) However it's not impossible. If Virtual PC and VMware can do it ...

It is indeed needlessly complicated the way it is now. I would not say "needlessly". There is a need to make it work, and VirtualBox being a cross-platform general-purpose virtualisation solution limits the ways things can be done. It would not be satisfactory for VirtualBox to implement ...

As you discoverd, Direct3D support in VirtualBox is provided by WineD3D (the Direct3D implementation from www.winehq.org). It has the same limitations as Wine, and even if you get the game working, it is likely to hit this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14939 and make the game virtually...

This is too complicated. What I had to do was: - find the topic in the help file (30 seconds) - read it (60 seconds) - make a folder on the host OS (20 seconds) - open the command prompt in the guest OS (5 seconds) - type 'net use x: \\vboxsvr\HostFolder' (10 seconds) - go to My Computer in the gue...

I am told that future versions of VirtualBox won't allow combining immutable VDIs and snapshots. Although I understand there are good reasons for this, it is something I currently use.

Apparently, the work-around for this has not yet been decided on. Maybe it could be posted here when it is?
