Hi guys : I have a VM that works well when I export it to run on ther
VBox's.  Im afraid that, if I install the guest additions, It wont work
anymore on windows, however --- since the guest additions are host specific.


Do "Guest Additions" Make a VM instance less amenable to exporation ? I want
the VM to run smoothly under different host conditions..............


The *guest* additions are installed on the *guest* and have no concern with the host. They talk to the host via virtualized hardware through virtualbox itself, which implements the host part depending on the host platform.

The only difference when you move a VM to another host might be differences in how much the host code supports the addition features (some do not support clipboard exchange, or only text data for ex.). But it shouldn't make the VM less usable than if it didn't have the additions.
(or else this is a bug)

François.
