What a nightmare VirtualBox has been…

Well strictly speaking just one feature, Shared Folders.  I've been running VirtualBox 1.6.2 for the last 2 days ago.  I thought it was about time I tried it out properly, which just coincided with me wanting to create my very own Performance/Tiny XP.

Out of the last 20 or so installs (Testing my TinyXP) I've done of windows the last couple of days I have only managed to get Shared Folders functioning, even then I'm not too sure how I did that.  After another search on Google for help, I noticed the VirtualBox forums are pretty damn full of people reporting the same problem.  Thank God, at least it wasn't just me.  This time I have two leads on getting Shared Folders working correctly, Reinstall Guest Additions or Install the 1.6.0 Guest Additions.

If anyone is wondering where the hell they can get the previous additions, they're here, and here is the direct link.  Although I have yet to try either there does appear to numerous reports that it works.

Ignoring the Shared Folder problems just now, VirtualBox is IMHO the best performing Virtualization software out there, the smallest download too.

I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone, get it here.
