+        By default, the mouse is captured if the user clicks on the guest window
+        and the guest expects relative mouse coordiantes at this time. This
+        happens if the pointing device is configured as PS/2 mouse and the guest did
+        not (yet) start the VirtualBox Guest Additions (for instance, the guest is
+        booting or no Guest Additions installed at all) or if the pointing device
+        is configured as USB tablet but the guest has no USB driver loaded yet.
+        Once the Guest Additions become active or the USB guest driver is started,
+        the mouse capture is automatically released.

+     <para>
+       To provide SSE 4.1 / SSE 4.2 support to guests, the host CPU has to
+       implement these instruction sets. Starting with VirtualBox 4.3.8 it is

+
+    <para>
+      In order to disable it, use the same command but change "1" to "0", or use the VBoxManage
+      command to remove the extra data. This is a per-VM setting and it is disabled by default.
