Hi there,

I just wanted to give some feedback about windows 7 on linux.
For the last month or two, Windows 7 crashing randomly on any VirtualBox version earlier than 5.1.6 was driving me crazy.
I was almost ready to downgrade to a VirtualBox 4 version which was previously stable (reluctantly).

However, just as I am about to, arrives VirtualBox 5.1.6.

I can say my Windows 7 box is now stable!
No more crashing.

I even rebuilt my 64 bit version to 32 bit thinking that would fix it.... but alas no...

So anyone with the same issue, I do recommend upgrading your VirtualBox version to 5.1.6.

Thanks, but since you are not running a beta test version, I wonder why you posted in the beta feedback topic?

Moving this to "Linux Hosts". In fact just a post in the "Discuss the 5.1.6 release" topic might have been ideal.
