Dangerous Waters and Virtual Box

Well for those that might be interested : Dangerous Waters runs very well on XP in Virtualbox with 3d acceleration enabled. The only problem that still is not resolved is the gamma (too dark although you can still see the different stations) and most importantly some screens disappear if you select specific options, but they come back we those options are unselected. These problems are few so I hope the guys working on the 3d component of Virtualbox will have it fixed sooner rather than later.
Oh and by the way the audio works 100%.
All this for what you may ask ? Well if you're considering going all the way to linux and don't want to renounce to your daily drug of DW, Virtualbox is your only friendly alternative seeing that Wine still has audio not working so the game on Wine is perfectly useless. One less stone on the path to linux.
