Hi,

I recently built a pretty decent machine to use as a home fileserver and 
installed SNV 77 on it. Before I had this, I stored all of my media and backups 
on a Windows XP machine, but that's getting old and I'd like to be able to put 
it out to pasture. The only thing it can do that my new Solaris box can't is 
run iTunes to sync music to my iPod. 

I bought an AMD processor with virtualization support, and from what I've read, 
setting up a WinXP DomU should be fairly easy. The one thing I haven't found 
much documentation on is whether the XP DomU will have access to the computer's 
USB ports. The few relevant pages Google turned up seemed to suggest that it 
wouldn't, but they also seemed fairly old. 

So how about it? I know this isn't exactly a typical use of virtualization, but 
it would definitely make things a little nicer for me. 

Thanks
