  • Question I have a macbookpro that I partitioned with windows 7. I placed virtualbox on the windows side and added vista virtually. To switch from vista to 7 I need the right control function but my macbook pro does not have that key. How can I switch between my virtual vista and my 7 desktop as I can not simply click outside of the virtualbox OS?

  • with Virtualbox can you change the amount of ram that you give to the operating system while its is still running?

  • macs suck

  • THis is amazing 5 stars

  • great review dude 5stars!

  • So it can't run games? oh well :( I'll just have to wait...

  • what computer specs do you need for it to run  good

  • how do you install xp on the virtual box, very good video

  • Isn't Pear PC to emulate PPC OSes on non-PPC systems?

  • very true. If I'm going to use this video to take me through the installation and setup then I would rather it be slowed down a bit.
