VBox rocks.  The "seamless" function is less than satisfying, but I have 
found ways to not want to use it.  Caveat:  That be a function of my 
lack of confidence in my own abilities to multitask in two OSes and two 
languages simultaneously than any limitations of the software.
The only _real_ problem I have is getting my HP printer to work from 
WIN.  I print to .pdf using the 995 printing and editing suite and send 
it to my Gmail account, then make a print copy from Linux.  Other than 
that, I have found solutions for everything else using either the 
hardware pass-through function or changing hardware (switching to a 
Wi-Fi Skype phone instead of the USB cordless one I had been using in 
WIN).
As for Outhouse Excuse, I'd rather be the only cabin boy on a Greek 
freighter than use that POS, but there are workarounds for it, as well. 
    But, I have been ignoring it successfully for over 15 years; even 
when I was a full-time WIN user.
