Hi Mark, no it doesn't look very good...

Seems like multiple things going wrong - it seems to be confused internally about what color depth is on the screen and it looks like the parts of the Direct3D API that are supposed to report back information about what the device supports are busted.

Hopefully that will improve as they continue to work on Direct3D support inside of VirtualBox.

That was labeled as "experimental" so it is not really surprising that it is not really up to par yet.

Other virtual machine systems have had similar issues in their first pass at trying to support having the virtualized software interface with the 3D display hardware.
