VirtualBox 1.3.4

InnoTek 公司在今天宣布了旗下的虚拟软件 VirtualBox 1.3.4 发布的消息。据了解,这是一次非常重要的更新。大量来自 VirtualBox 用户社区的反馈,大约超过 800 个的改进被整合到了新的版本中。同时,InnoTek 也同意了 Ubuntu 官方打算把 VirtualBox 整合到 Ubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn") 的请求。

以下是来自 VirtualBox 1.3.4 的更改列表,可供参考:

    现在暂时用aoss启动VBox,进入xp都有声音的,但是麦克风没有响应 MSN的音频向导里也没声音,系统设备都找得到 google了一下似乎没发现aoss只能播放不能用mic的说法啊 VB速度比VM快多了,已经删除VM了,可是却没法用它打电话
