(Not sure how this is done, the virtual driver probably intercepts calls, the VM adapts it for running in a possible non-fullscreen mode and passes it on to the host OS) MS might be able to implement a DirectX interface as well... Of course virtualization still requires huge amounts of RAM and needs to emulate quite a bit of hardware, which is bad for performance. Gert
