I used windoze (in a vbox VM) to do my taxes a few weeks ago. Although I fully expect windoze to crash unpredictably and frequently, it was outdoing itself in that regard. I thought that perhaps there was something in V6.1.34 of VBox that was annoying windoze, and that maybe a newer VBox might annoy it less. > If it's just about running the "latest and greatest", you should be able > to fetch the SlackBuild from my -current or 15.0 repo (or even the > packages).

YMMV. Cheers.
