The major feature for VirtualBox 3.0 is improved 3D graphics acceleration. Sun is attempting support for Direct3D 8/9 on Windows and OpenGL 2.0 everywhere.

With the introduction of it’s latest version, VirtualBox introduces support for Open Virtualization Format and makes solid steps towards cross-OS feature unity.

Sun has released VirtualBox 2.1.2. This is a maintenance rather than feature upgrade, but there are a few highlights including better Windows 7 guest support.

You’ve installed VirtualBox Guest Additions in Windows 7, but Shared Folders don’t yet work. There is a simple workaround that can provide basic functionality.

If you’ve snagged yourself a copy of Windows 7 Beta 1 and are anxious to give it a whirl, installing it in a virtualized environment is a great way to go. It’s no secret that VirtualBox is my favorite VM application, so I wanted to mention a bit of advice for getting it working properly.
