== Wobbly Windows or 3D acceleration ==
With version 2.1 VirtualBox introduced 3D acceleration for Windows guests, and with 2.2 Linux and Solaris guests. In this episode we look at how we can use 3D graphics acceleration to deliver the features of the Compiz visual effects in an Ubuntu 9.04 guest on a Mac OS X, or more simply speaking, how we can make our windows wobbly.

== Importing and Exporting virtual appliances ==
VirtualBox 2.2 introduced the Virtual Appliance wizard: a way of exporting and importing virtual machines or appliances using the industry standard OVF or Open Virtualization Format. In this movie we show : - how to export your own appliances to share, move to production or publish - how to import pre-built appliances so you can use "off the peg" virtual machines.
