If you check the pic to the right, the 'experimental' Direct3D support was preselected and couldn't be turned off. Things went smoother but still VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe wouldn't behave. One month down the road I downloaded VirtualBox v4.1.10 and tried again.
After some more googling, all I managed was a completely hosed installation. allows to communicate with the host hard disk.
But there was a glitch, one couldn't install Guest Additions, an essential component that e.g. VirtualBox v4.1.8 (the current version at the time) did well installing and running windows 8 (there are plenty of step by step guides if you google) so you could get a glimpse of the horrors that are awaiting to befall upon us in the metro future. Both the open source virtualbox and microsoft's own virtual PC weren't ready at all. When MS announced the availability of windows 8 consumer preview a month ago, I tried to run it under various virtual machines without success. ■ Running Windows 8 in Oracle's VM VirtualBox
