Unfortunately, under VirtualBox I am unable to get my video card recognized by
WoW. I am running b118 at this point. I went with VirtualBox over VMWare
because of seamless mode. I am finding several limitation for me OpenSolaris as
my host. :(
mplayer and WoW having by far the largest impact on me. hehe. With those being
non business apps its hard to say how this would impact wide adoption in a
commercial market.. but the entertainment/casual retail marketability for
OpenSolaris is severly hampered... Honestly the real killer is that Totem is
pretty much inept. CD audio disks don't even play. Not my expectation using
Toshiba hardware that apparently can be purchased pre-installed.

VirtualBox on Solaris hosts works well, but for audio you only get
playback, not record. This is a limitation in the VirtualBox software,
and I believe the team is looking at fixing it. (On a system with
OpenSolaris b115 or newer they can make use of the same OSS APIs that
they use on Linux, which probably means that the sound support can be
much better than it was going forward.)
Note also that OpenSolaris *guests* after build 115 work *much* better
(for audio at least) than earlier revisions of Solaris. (This is
because, I believe, that the changes in Boomer mean that we bypass the
problematic sample rate conversion logic in Virtual Box.)
