I'm not sure why you're using this argument as a positive thing. In VB
(or any third-party VM software) installing the guest additions for
32-bit /and/ 64-bit OSes is as easy and clicking "Install" and
rebooting. No driver downloads. No config file editing. Until
libvirt/qemu/kvm/spice provide a similar solution there is no comparison.
I wasn't trying to suggest that the current situation is perfect, just
that it isn't always as bad as the DDK thing sounded.
