I just got this off the MacUpdate site, although couldn't find it on the
VirtualBox site.

Being a very light, non-critical user, I decided to give it a punt. I've
just opened up, updated Additions, and now allowing other updates to
complete (Windows and Comodo mainly).

Seems very responsive indeed, as far as I can remember it feels like it
could keep up with Parallels or VMware (indeed, VMware ran bloody
terrible for me here).

Proper dual screen support now too, and it seems stable enough so far.

I've just installed it on Ubuntu 10.04 ant it confirms it's Oracle VM,
3.2.0_Beta1 and there are no updates.

I had XP on VB 3.1.6 on Ubuntu 9.1 and that ran pretty fast. I just
didn't get round to working out why I couldn't see USB devices on the
guest machine though.

One feature I'd love to see in VirtualBox, is the importing of existing
machines/disk images in the GUI via menu or drag 'n' drop

I've never manage to add a .xml file via the command line and always end
up having to create a new machine from scratch.
