I got Windows installed in VirtualBox, no problems. But the reason I wanted to do this was to use my Sony MZ-NHF800 MiniDisc Walkman. Well it turned out that I was using VirtualBox Open Source Edition, which does not include USB support. I didn’t realize this until someone in the IRC channel #vbox on irc.freenode.org was nice enough to point it out to me. So I’ve removed the OSE and I’m about to install the Closed Source Edition, which includes USB support. Full report later.
