Just thought I'd happily report that openSUSE 10.3 seems to run Vista under Virtualbox very nicely. So far Vista hasn't crashed once, and 10.3 handles multiple tasks very well.
Two questions:
1) Is this a multi-core or multi-processor system?
Guest VM is always uniprocessor.
That's not the question. I'm interested in how much concurrent processing potential the physical / host system possesses.
Vista works fine with that. Of course CPU must be fast (2 GHz) and have 1 GB of RAM.
2) How does Vista cope with the virtualized graphics adaptor? (I was under the impression it required a heavy-duty graphics card.)
Vista needs good video card for advanced 3D effects (Aero Glass). It can work in basic mode with standard VGA card. The Vista experience is bad without it.
So it is the case that the user experience of Vista is not good without a graphics card with "advanced 3D effects?" And to date there are no virtualization systems the provide such a graphics adaptor in their virtual machine environment, right? So is Vista practical under virtualization?
