It does not work for me when I am not root, which causes some minor inconvenience. Otherwise all the updates so loved by Microsoft installed fine, and the VM itself seems to function properly. Speed seems to be much better than qemu/kqemu, but slower than the old VMware port (though that is really a pain to use these days since it is limited to single core CPUs only). Are there plans to do a port of the Guest Additions? Right now the resolution and bit depth are limited to 800x600, 16 bits, and that really limits its usefulness. Of course you are starting in the right place: without a stable port the additions are not of any particular use. Frank
