Hi Mark, I don't know the internals of VirtualBox however what I can say is when you're looking at merging an existing VDI with another site, the supported way is to clone the VDI - see the User Document. If you're only looking at having folks access to Office, why not setup a single VM as a Windows Server and give everyone a login? I'm not a Windows person but it seems that may be the way to go; perhaps using remote desktop sharing + port forwarding on the Host O/S? Anyway, just some random thoughts.
