VirtualBox Guest Drivers Still Working Their Way To The Mainline Linux Kernel

[Emmanuel Deloget]

It's copy-and-paste from host to guest (and vice-versa). It *cannot* be a userspace thing in this case.

Can we get futuristic top-of-the-line features like drag & drop between Linux guests and hosts implemented hopefully before 2020?

Should the drivers really need to be VM-specific?
Shouldn't the there be like a single API for virtual machines that can be used by VirtualBox, KVM, QEMU, Hyper-V, etc?

That's what I thought...

Why can't they standarize the drivers and all use the same? This is a mess, code duplication nonsense to me...

[timofonic]

you don’t exactly see vbox hosting offers around do you?

No, not at all. Is it sarcasm?
