Description

In the new Take VM Snapshot dialog (Instances - instance name - Take VM Snapshot button) there are no popup tooltips to describe the fields and the checkbox.

Also, it would be useful to note in the dialog text somewhere that "The VM file system will not be quiesced" since this is an important limitation when you're using this dialog.

Some suggested text for the tooltips:

Name: (Optional) Give the snapshot a name. A unique name will be automatically generated if you leave this blank.

Description: (Optional) Notes or comments about the snapshot.

Snapshot memory: Check this to include CPU/memory state. If not checked, the snapshot includes only data volumes.
