This key is useful if/when you haven't installed the VirtualBox 'Guest Additions' into the VM and clicking into the VM window captures the cursor.

For free (I, too, was tired of the "subscription model" annual upgrade pleas/threats), I really have to try to find a problem with it. Parallels seems to virtualize Mac OS more smoothly.

It works well with most Linuxes I throw at it (have had some issues with Linux Mint and video drivers). I triple boot on my MacBook, but may toss that for using virtualized PCs. Two-way clipboard support just works, and the granular control over the emulated hardware (how many cores, how much RAM, what size drive, etc.) makes it sweet for testing system parameters. It's not quite as nice to configure as Parallels, but once it's running it's fantastic. What can be said has mostly been said, but I'll chime in.

OS/2 Additions: Fixed some issues with extended attributes in the shared folders (bug #19453).

Shared Clipboard: Improved HTML content exchange between X11 and Windows guests and hosts.

Guest Control: Fixes for UNICODE handling.

Guest Control: Fixed folders copying from host to guest and from guest to host.

Guest: Fixed wrong mouse position if guest is in text mode.

Linux host: Fix access to some USB devices, device class was not correctly handled (bug #20721).

Solaris host: Fix packaging regression, make vboxshell.py executable.

Solaris host: Fixed regression in installer, failed on Solaris 10.

Unattended installation: Fixed regression introduced in 6.1.28, causing partitioning failure for Windows XP to 10 (bug #20769).

E1000: Fix link status reporting for certain Linux kernels (some Oracle Linux ones, probably more).

Audio: Fixed accidental creation of empty debug log file when the OSS audio backend was configured.

GUI: Fixed keyboard focus loss in rare circumstances when using the mini toolbar in fullscreen mode.

VMM: Workaround for OS/2 guest unstability on newer AMD CPUs due to a missing TLB flush in OS/2 (bug #20625).

VMM: Changed the guest RAM management when using Hyper-V to be more compatible with HVCI (bug #20627 and #20694).
