There's lots to like about VB. Small, fast, lightweight, free.
Here's my sole annoyance so far.
I run Linux host on Monitor1 and Windoze guest (full screen) on Monitor2.
The desk rodent rolls smoothly between OS's.
In VMWare, merely rolling the rodent between monitors is sufficient to be ready to start typing.
In VirtualBox, merely rolling the rodent is NOT sufficient. Must also click clack to change focus between monitors.
So many extra clickety clacks each day.
Maybe there's a solution for this behaviour, but so far none found in the manual.
Any tips or clues greatly appreciated.

It is just another program that you're running. When you have two programs running that can use the keyboard, do you still need to click on either of them before you can type in them? I'm sure you have to, unless you specify that in the mouse settings or Window Manager settings to autofocus an application when the mouse is hovers over it.

Simply brilliant !
For PCLinuxOS thats Configure your Computer, Desktop, Window Behaviour, Focus Policy = Focus Follows Mouse.
Too easy.
Very many thanks.
