>>> My installation:

>>> * In that VirtualBox, one Windows 10 Technical Preview VM, running
>>> latest said version with all updates, 32 GB HDD, 3 GB RAM - a.k.a. "guest"
>>> * In "guest", everything needed for Sailfish development installed,
>>> configured & running, with latest versions (i.e. VirtualBox 4.3.2 w/
>>> Extension Pack, SDK v1412, sailfish VMs ok, MerSDK + emulator).
