It is very good! I stumbled across VirtualBox after I installed VMWare and it crashed on installation. I've used VMWare before and it is great but crashing while it was installing itself was a bit much to take
The VirtualBox open source version comes packaged with many Linux distributions but has no USB support. Sun's does. I used Sun's version to reverse engineer a USB Windows driver a while back and it's perfect. USB works totally transparently as far as the guest operating system is concerned. Streams video in the Windows guest on a Linux host without a problem. Surprisingly good.
