Kurzinfo für die User von VirtualBox. Es steht wiedermal ein kleines Update bereit. Aktuell sind wir nun bei Version 5.1.12, welche wieder zahlreiche Fehlerbehebungen liefert. Neben einigen Fehlerbehebungen im Bereich Mac OS Hosts wurde auch der Fehler des WDDM-Treiber für Windows Gastsysteme behoben.
