I've heard of people not even getting past the install even with a
hardware virtualisation capable cpu.

Yeah I used to edit the configs manually but things have changed
there is now a more capable UI with the free vmware player than virtual
box (ignoring the pretty nifty auto focus grab in virtualbox), the
only missing thing being you need workstation for 3d support whereas
virtualbox has free experimental 3d support.

To me it's a bit like a blackberry, I'll play with it but would you
trust one knowing the people who made it also made a server which can
be rooted simply by sending an email with a pdf attached, it's a mail
server for crying out loud and I thought exchange with admins using
microsoul internet exploiter was bad.

CESG and Obama should be ashamed for not publicising the changes
that were insisted on and for approving/forcing it fullstop
exacerbating the false sense of security.
