The difference I believe, at least last I checked a year or two ago, is<br>
support of Folder Sharing and USB device pass through.<br>

We do not install the guest additions before shipping as they conflict<br>
with other Virtualization platform add ons, and need to match specific<br>
versions.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>This is very wise, but i think it's important to know whether it works or not when the user installs it. If it's a ubuntu problem, perhaps it is worth to point it out in their bug tracker, but at the moment i need to understand where the problem lies.
