Snow Leopard in VirtualBox

So it seems Oracle is doing pretty good after taking over VirutalBox. I was for the first time able to make a guest OS X machine from a retail DVD which runs on both a Linux and Windows host. The only modification was to the .vbox XML file as follows:

<ExtraData>
<ExtraDataItem name=”GUI/LastCloseAction” value=”powerOff”/>
<ExtraDataItem name=”GUI/LastGuestSizeHint” value=”1024,768″/>
<ExtraDataItem name=”GUI/LastNormalWindowPosition” value=”119,101,1024,810″/>
<ExtraDataItem name=”VBoxInternal2/SmcDeviceKey” value=”ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc”/>
</ExtraData>

The original guide I used can be found here.
