What VBox 4.3 supported ? NDIS 5.x only ?
I thought NDIS 6x was a requirement for NT 6 OSes (Win Vista/7/8/10)
"Support for the NDIS6 networking framework" ?

You thought wrong. Windows 10 is still an unknown but Windows 8.1 clearly supports NDIS 5.x, or else VirtualBox host-only and bridged networking wouldn't workI thought NDIS 6x was a requirement for NT 6 OSes (Win Vista/7/8/10)
Aside from a different set of bugs when installing/uninstalling drivers, the only NDIS 6 advantage we know of is that it should allow changing the driver stack without killing all network connections.
