1 After updating vbox today I got crashes on login with two different
2 Win7 guests (gentoo ~amd64 host).
3
4 Luckily, only the most recent snapshot crashed and I was able to
5 boot normally with the second most recent snapshot (both guests).
6
7 I didn't lose anything important because the only thing I use
8 Windows for is to run Windows Update :) (know thine enemy, etc)

10 Maybe if you have important stuff on a Win7 guest you should make
11 an extra snapshot just before you update to vbox-4.2.8 in case you
12 need to delete the last one.

14 BTW, I had no problems with linux guests so far.
