In the past VBox's GuestAdditions plugin for file sharing between host and guest systems has had latency issues and even file corruption when the shared folders had a lot of files to manage.  Is this still a problem in VBox.  I don't recall this issue in QUEMC, though admittedly it has been a while since I have used the later.

depends on the version/edition of windows. Most OEM copies are not sold with licencing to be run on a VM but some Enterprise editions do allow for such things.

Question :  I have several Dell desktops and several Dell laptops that came with Windows.  I've replaced almost all of them with Linux.  I do have a need for Windows on occasion.  I do have VirtualBox configured on my desktop and laptop.  I'd like to install Windows in a guest on VirtualBox.  Can I use the OEM copy or do I need to find an image some place on the net?

Thank you in advance.

Use virtualbox with "seamless" mode, all the windoze apps run windowed to be less annoying overall, and you can hide the disgrace

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
