Devotion, Talent and Luck at least those factors I greatly underestimated now the software I want to run would ask for some Direct 7 and back but this is a wonderful start. If only Microsoft would make a portable software emulator for like the first 5 or so they are relatively simple and the modern CPU could handle the calls I am sure. But whatever I guess Microsoft is more in it for profit than utility anyways.

Even I was fully expecting the “end” of 2009, not the middle of it. I guess we all underestimated the devotion the Sun Microsystems developers have for Virtualbox!

Your right sometime in 2009 and I was hopeful but reserved in saying it “will” happen but never imagined so early in the year. I really hope that it will expand to earlier versions of D3D since i run Vista main plan to switch to 7 when its released. Libraries 8 and 9 are fine in Vista its the earlier stuff i want to be able to have this to run. like 5 to 7 before that it would be nice to have some 9x support but I don’t see that happening anytime soon well as far as Virtualbox isconcerned

I haven’t checked the latest 3.0 Beta release out completely yet but for Virtualbox 2.1, the 3D support was only for Windows XP. Vista was not supported for OpenGL at that time.
