VirtualBox VMs and Windows Vista license keys
Odd thing: booting from a Vista DVD in VirtualBox, I get asked for a license key; then, after entering a presumably valid one, I get an error about some file on the setup drive being missing or corrupted.
Switch the VirtualBox virtual DVD drive to "Passthrough" and everything goes great--and you are NOT prompted for a license key.
Weird.
