turbotax protip for virtualization weirdos

Howdy,

So I’ve been trying to do my taxes with turbotax; I’m on a Mac so I run Virtualbox to run a windows VM for turbotax. I stupidly enabled 3D acceleration on my VM, so TurboTax actually throws an exception trying to render an image; the hint was the stack trace referencing all sorts of accelerated video rendering shared libraries…

Disable 3D rendering and you’ll be back to doing your taxes.

Whee!
