Just curious as to why so many users found the need to change the default setting anyway. Was this an upgrade install from a previous guest that had the legacy setting enabled?

Mine was. Which means it's about time I start putting together a topic I've been avoiding for a long time:

Replying to myself here, but I opened a new thread in the "Developers corner" sub-forum, Template defaults (Global.cpp revisions). I put it in the Developers corner because I don't think it would be interesting to the majority of the users. However, if anyone is interested, let me know.

Unfortunately Perryg, it does not cover the paravirtualization defaults, because there aren't any. In that area of the code at least...
