I am not at all comfortable with 4.0.4 on the up-stream side. I have it
installed on my personal Windows7 system (previously running 3.2.12 with
an Ubuntu client and I a seeing the keyboard lock-ups there.

I ma also having LOT of crashes of the VM. I just get a Win7 popup
telling my that the VM has unexpectedly exited and do I want to report
it to Microsoft. After the stability of the v3 B, this is very
disappointing.

I'll admit to being very nervous about 4.0.4.
