I use it to print DVD's etc to my Canon printer. I have the printer setup as 2 devices, one for general Linux use and the other as a RAW queue, then the M$ VB prints to the raw queue (or you could print directly if you don't have it installed in CUPS)

Quote from: fourfourdevon I suspect Virtualbox and Linux won't allow Windows (or any VM) to take direct control of the video hardware, but instead presents its own (the VM software) video "hardware" for Windows to interact with.
Must admit I've not really used the VMs for gaming - I tend to use WINE when there's any need to kill something with extreme prejudice
There are a number of initiatives to get DirectX and OpenGL into VMs - the most promising appears to be some form of virtualisation running on the GPU itself which the VM client can then claim as it's own. There are issues with this - the main one seems to be that GPU architectures change much more rapidly than the x86 CPU lines. I think it'll be a while before this takes off, although as VMs move out of the server farms into the desktop arena maybe this will start to be a higher priority. Interesting times.

If Oracle start playing silly games I expect VB OSE will be forked.
