I use VirtualBox also, and use Linux as my host, with an XP guest.  
Works flawlessly with JFW and Window-eyes.  If I have to run Windows, I 
prefer doing it this way, so if a virus wipes me out, I simply restore 
my snapshot.  That being said, I do have Windows partitions on both my 
desktop and laptop, for the times when I have to update mobile speak on 
my phone.  As Robert stated, Virtualbox is inaccessible, but I can get 
around that with the command line.  VBoxManage works wonders.  I hope 
this helps.

Later,


Guy
