I guess the next step would be to see if VMWare will work with the graphical installer :)
Qubes-OS is a HVM visualization system that works directly with the hardware, and its use under another virtualization system is likely to have many problems. The security that it provides depends on this being the right hardware, and the virtualized hardware just isn't the same. In short, don't test is under VirtualBox/VMWare and expect to see what it will be like, because that is simply not a valid way to test it.
There used to be a Live DVD you could boot to test it, but that DVD is ancient at this point. The better way to test (imho) is to instead install it onto a fast bootable USB drive and then use grub or your BIOS boot sequence to boot from that drive. Then Qubes will be running natively on your real hardware, and the only difference is that the locally installed system will likely run much faster, since the external USB IO is likely much slower than your actual system drive.
