  Don't you still need it for folder and clipboard sharing? Obviously that may or may not matter, but it's not nothing.

    I'm running 7.0.10 and to share directories and clipboard data only the "guest additions" package is needed, which is free but closed source; no idea if they changed anything in newer versions though. I would have migrated ages ago to fully FOSS alternatives, but every time I wanted to use a GUI interface to do something non trivial that would require more clicks on a shell (the above features, plus changing ethernet interface modes, etc), I had to struggle with the simple truth that the vast majority of FOSS developers don't have a clue when designing an UI that is not aimed at themselves but actual users (which would be also the case for a lot of other FOSS). There is simply no match, all FOSS virtualization GUIs are ages behind VB, and that hurts me because VB GUI is stupidly simple, but clearly very well thought when it comes to actual usability. People should realize that good interface designers aren't failed programmers, and there is a huge need for them, both in free and proprietary software.

  Is the extension pack still needed for VNC?
