  * `src/VBox/` contains the bulk of the !VirtualBox code, again sorted into subdirectories. This has:
-    * `src/VBox/BFEGUI/`: The "Basic Front End GUI", a very limited UI that communicates with the VMM directly, without using COM.
+    * `src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxBFE/`: The "Basic Front End GUI", a very limited UI that communicates with the VMM directly, without using COM.
+    * `src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxFB/`: The "Framebuffer GUI", a GUI that sits directly on the Linux framebuffer. Not currently maintained.
+    * `src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxSDL/`: An alternative frontend based on [http://www.libsdl.org/index.php SDL]. This is useful for business use as well as testing during development. The VMs then have to be controlled with VBoxManage.
+    * `src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/`: The Qt GUI as shown on the [wiki:"Screenshots"] page.
+    * `src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxManage/`: The !VBoxManage textual interface that exposes the API in Main to the command line.
     * `src/VBox/Debugger/`: An (incomplete) guest debugger that is still evolving.
     * `src/VBox/Devices/`: Code for the various guest devices that the VMM virtualizes, such as the audio, network, and graphics card, as well as the virtual hard disk and USB controller.
     * `src/VBox/Disassembler/`: The !VirtualBox Disassembler (part of the VM core), which analyzes guest code on commission of various other !VirtualBox components (mostly from the VMM, below).
-    * `src/VBox/FBGUI/`: The "Framebuffer GUI", a GUI that sits directly on the Linux framebuffer.
-    * `src/VBox/GuestTools/`: The "Guest Additions" for Windows and Linux (and possibly more in the future); this is code that must be installed within a guest to optimize its performance and usability. The build system compiles this code into an ISO file that can be mounted as a VM's virtual CD-ROM drive, as described in the [wiki:"Downloads" user manual].

     * `src/VBox/HostServices/`: 
     * `src/VBox/Installer/`: The code for the Linux and Windows installes, in their respective subdirectories. For Linux, we use some shell scripts glued together with a tarball, for Windows, we build a .MSI package.
-    * `src/VBox/Main/`: The COM/XPCOM backend (see [wiki:"COM-XPCOM interoperability"]) which lies on top of the VMM code (see below). This is shared by the various components of !VirtualBox. Among other things, VBoxManage is also here unter `src/VBox/Main/tools`.
-    * `src/VBox/Network/`: This contains a TAP driver for Windows (not needed with Linux since the Linux kernel has one). (This is a ''host'' driver and therefore does not belong under `Devices/` above.)

-    * `src/VBox/USB/`:
     * `src/VBox/VMM/`: The Virtual Machine Monitor, part of the VM core.
