guest is not really a USB device for the guest....
That is only a folder sharing system from host to guest and the USB
part is handled by the host.
I should perhaps have said that the guests do not have any USB
functionality at all so they cannot attach any USB device.
THe main problem we have is when trying to test software that is
protected with USB connected hardware keys. That simply cannot be done
at all with VPC2007 and VS2005, whereas it *is* possible with VMWare
WorkStation and Player.
So using a VPC2007 guest as a software test platform is limited in
scope by this.
