I need to use Windows too. If I just have Linux on a USB drive then I have to boot from it; like a dual boot (isn't this correct?). The other option is to have vbox running in a USB drive Linux host and create a Windows guest which takes considerable more effort than installing vbox on a few Windows machines.
