Hello too, well, I don't know if you really need additional input, but these are my top five being a first-time vbox user (linux host, XP guest):
1) DVD/CD drive recognition does not really work as expected. Effectively all the hardware I tried vbox on tried to convince me using /dev/fd0 as DVD drive :-) Nevertheless I could use the DVD after editing the XML config from /dev/fd0 to /dev/hda (or hdc or whatever it really was) 2) Choosing fast format during XP installation shoots the vbox down (hangs forever). 3) cut&paste between linux host and XP guest does not work at all, at least I could not find out how it works. 4) USB is a story by itself :-), without hints from this list you cannot make that work ... (mounting usbfs with devgid and devmode). 5) CloneDVD/CD on XP guest shoots down both host and guest. (I know, mean stuff) Hope that helps. Anyway, vbox really is a nice piece of software and behaves very well on the host. Great work.
