No, but it does say "including but not limited to". So, what's the problem with VirtualBox 7 and Windows 11?

for Windows guests on Linux hosts I like the shared clipboard and shared
folders of virtualbox. I never used VMware ESXi...

...I'm using QEMU/KVM for a Linux guest on a Linux host. It's better
than virtualbox in many ways, but at least file sharing requires
workarounds.
The issue with the "Open Source Edition" as well as the non-OSE and
Windows 11 guests is

The don't mention Windows 11.
Since I'm on 6.1.40 and can take a look at 6.1.44+,
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-6.1#v44 .
"If you're looking for the latest VirtualBox 6.1 packages, see
VirtualBox 6.1 builds. Version 6.1 will remain supported until December
2023." - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Still no good prospects.
