Hi Mark and all, I personally found Ubuntu guests to be quite slow using VirtualBox 1.6.6 compared to Windows guests. Now as I'm registered blind I require speech, which Ubuntu has out of the box, but that shouldn't make a difference in performance. Will performance to Ubuntu guests improve with future VirtualBox versions? I find Ubuntu to be pretty slick when I used VMware, and couldn't even get the boot menu to load when I tried Ubuntu through Parallels for Windows. This is all on my Vista host. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
