I run VB under Lenny, W2K, for a specialist CAD program. Works perfectly. Would probably work better with more memory, the rest of the system does slow down a bit. Only have 1G of which 512 is allocated to the VM.

I can't get shared folders to work, which is tiresome, so I email files back and forth - once they are exported in dxf they can be worked on in QCAD.

I'm surprised you can't get shared folders to work, it's one of the things that seemed to me to work much better in VirtualBox than in Vmware. In Vmware I resorted to using samba to share files with the Windows guest.

What problem do you have when trying to make some Linux filesystem visible to the Windows guest?
