VirtualBox Gets Accelerated Direct3D Support

,----[ Quote ]
| Last month VirtualBox 2.1 was released with several interesting changes and 
| among them was support for OpenGL. With this latest open-source 
| virtualization software from Sun Microsystems, it became possible to run some 
| OpenGL programs within a guest virtual machine while allowing the host 
| system's graphics card to accelerate the drawing. All the modifications that 
| are needed by the guest operating systems is to just install a VirtualBox 
| OpenGL driver. What was missing, however, was support for the Direct3D API, 
| but that is now emerging within the VirtualBox camp.
