Virtualbox *is* accessible on the Windows side, at least with NVDA.
Anyway, not relevant on this list, but...

Cool! It would be neat if it was also accessible on the Windows side...

Hi Everyone
Well, I downloaded the latest Virtualbox, 2.0.6. Typically, I use it
via the command-line, and was in the process of running my new
Virtual machine when I noticed something very interesting. The text
in the information windows was accessible to Voiceover. Needless to
say, I dug deeper into this and am happy to report that, with the
exception of a few glitches, most of the Virtualbox GUI is
accessible with Voiceover now. Most of the glitches involve lists,
such as tables. Several of these aren't yet wrapped in accessibility
information, and so are reported as unknowns. When you see an
unknown in Virtualbox, try and interact with it. More often than not
it's a list or control group that you can actually see the content
of. Pop-up buttons also need work, but they are useable, you need to
work your way down through each choice pressing enter on each one so
that the pop-up button changes to the new choice. The pulldown
menu's won't read when you press the pop-up buttons, so you need to
work with them this way at present.
I'll report as I find more, but this is certainly a great start from
Sun in making Virtualbox accessible for all users, and was a nice
early present that I definitely did not expect :).
