New Virtual Machine Additions available for Windows Vista CTP releases

Yay! - We have new Virtual Machine Additions up for the Windows Vista CTP releases.  These new Additions (13.709) have performance optimizations for Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384), Windows Vista Beta 2 June Refresh (Build 5465) and Windows Vista Beta 2 July Refresh (Build 5472).

You can download the Additions from the Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 Beta program at http://connect.microsoft.com.  And for Virtual PC users - do not worry - the Additions are available as a separate download on the beta program, so once you have signed up you can download just the Additions and use them with Virtual PC.

Cheers,
Ben

Ben - I found your site on a google-search trying to find help playing the old Dark Forces video game.  
Do you remember how to get out of the garbage compactor on level 6 in the detention center?  If so, PLEASE email me any tips at moers@sbcglobal.net.

Its great to see VM Additions being released for Vista, a product that isn't even finished yet, so we can take a good look at the product without risk to the existing OS.

Are there any plans to change the sound card used in the VM's to something that is compatible with Vista?  Vista has dropped support for old ISA cards and that means no more SoundBlaster AWE32 support.  Would be good to see a little more video RAM too.

Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to Virtual PC 2007.
