6 The [[design document dedicated to virtualization
7 support|contribute/design/virtualization_support]] contains notes
8 about the already working bits in this field.
10 ## Tails as a VirtualBox guest
12 The VirtualBox 4.x guest utilities, X11 drivers and kernel modules are
13 installed inside Tails.
17 * the option to integrate the guest windows inside a X11 desktop
18 * kernel modules are loaded at runtime
19 * X11 auto-detects the VirtualBox video and input drivers
20 * sharing folders between a GNU/Linux host and a Tails guest
23 Since we want to support the "Tails as a guest inside Windows"
24 usecase, we need to test:
26 * desktop integration inside Windows
27 - Win7 SP1, VirtualBox 4.0.4 r70112: mouse integration works
29 * filesharing between a Tails guest and a Windows host
31 > No bug report about it for a while, let's close this task.
33 ## Tails as a VMware guest
35 Seems to work fine inside VMWare Player 3, using the ISO as the
36 guest's CD-ROM, with the 'Debian 5' Guest OS preset.
38 Warn users when running inside a VM
39 ===================================
41 Most of the work [[has been done|contribute/design/virtualization_support]].
45 * [[todo/warn_users_when_running_in_a_non-free_VM]]
46 * when running inside a VM within a non-free host OS, emphasize the
47 pseudo-security situation; seems almost impossible, let's forget
50 Autorun Tails in Windows
51 ========================
