The one thing I'm not seeing mentioned in re VirtualBox is that what if you have a legacy Win 98SE system with hardware in it, like a GPIB card or sound card? Or if you have software that talks to hardware via serial or parallel ports eg. eprom burners, Zector ZVG vector graphic driver for MAME, etc.
A cycle-accurate simulator, like MAME, may be more appropriate in those cases. Physical device pass through doesn't exist (yet) though. That is
one thing I think a lot of people would be interested in for legacy hw though then you run into the problem of finding modern hardware with old slots, since the simulation will give you a 100x hit in performance.
