MacOS X beta 3 released!
innotek today released an updated beta of VirtualBox for OS X, marking yet another important milestone to the completion of the OS X version. The new version sports seamless guest support and live dock tiles as well as numerous improvements and bug fixes. It goes without saying that it runs on the most recent version of OS X (Leopard).
The beta can be downloaded from http://www.virtualbox.de/wiki/Downloads
Have fun!

Thanks
3 things
First thanks
Second maybe the install should leave choice for install in user or admin place or it is necessary to always install in admin place...
Third, I try to install my win2k but.. always fail. I put it in a folder on my harddrive, burn it on my mac, burn on my pc but no way to start. My cd is booting in my pc, show on my mac untill virtual box is lunch and then, the cd icon vanish and the install faill because of no media... (i use the wizard to win2k preparation disk start vb from user and admin account). No bootable media found....

Thank You Very Much
OK So this is great, to be able to run windows beside OS X -- mainly for IE, but also maybe for games.
However, I can't seem to get clipboard sharing to work (additions installed, bidirectional set in settings, but it doesn't go either way)
Seamless mode is great.
Expose doesn't work, but this seems to be the desired behaviour?
Because it doesn't work with expose it also doesn't work with spaces -- vb could be assigned one "space", that would be a nice setup actually, but seamless windows cannot be dragged between spaces.
This all seems to be because the windows are created modal or with some other attribute -- its the kind of thing I see when a window is not tied to a dock icon.
I'm not berating you guys -- this is a beta after all, just making sure you're aware of the issues -- also I want to know what your plan of attack is for fixing things (what order?)

BSOD
Hi there,
I've just upgraded from Beta 2 to Beta 3.
Do need to do a full windws install?
I set up a new machine using my old vdi files but get a Blue Screen of Death whenever I try to boot the machine.
It says "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer."
Later it says:
"Technical information:
***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF87D6640, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000"
cheers
Steve

oh, ah... ? hm...It goes without saying that it runs on the most recent version of OS X (Leopard).
it goes without saying...
DOES it run on leopard or does it NOT?
oder auf deutsch:
tüdelt das nun unter leopard oder nicht?
I´m still running tiger just because of VB.
Thanks in advance for a clear statement
