Windows 7 Aero Support
I understand that VBox added support for Aero starting with v4.1, but it is still listed as "experimental", and it indeed does not work for me - Aero does work, but IE crashes with a blank/black window anytime I open it. When will VBox add FULL support of Aero? And/or has anyone seen the IE-crash phenomenon with Aero enabled and know a fix? Thanks.

Re: Windows 7 Aero Support
Setting the "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" switch in IE on will usually fix that.
Work is still being done on this. Who knows when anything will end? How long is a piece of string?

Re: Windows 7 Aero Support
Thank you, that worked.
The reason I asked "when" is to save me hours of searching for 'planned features in future edition' docs that may or may not exist if someone has already seen it or is "in the know" with the development of VirtualBox.
