Are there any plans to have support for more than 2GB or RAM ver windows VM? And 64 Bits? That would be excellent before we can use this technology on a datacenter.

Hi Klaus, Thanks. It's great that you will put out the windows Shared Folders src code. As for the performance, I didn't do thorough testing, but you can get an idea by doing this simple test: share the whole host system drive, usually C:, then run notepad.exe then launch map the shared drive in windows XP guest inside virtualbox, say, you map Z: to be pointing to the host c: drive. then launch notepad.exe by typing z:\windows\system32\notepad.exe You will note that it's much slower compared to local notepad.

To be honest I don't know. I'm not the one who wrote that code. But I've asked them and learned that this issue is mostly solved. We need to update a few things (e.g. using the WDK 6001) then we can make the code part of VBox OSE. So I'm asking for a little patience since such cleanup work isn't really high priority.

For contributions there's a wiki page describing the process: http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Contributor_information Contributions are always welcome if they actually improve things. What tests did you run on your implementation? Getting a filesystem bullet-proof is hard work... Klaus
