you can enable the usb you need to edit one file and add yourself to vboxusers group its really easy if you look in my favs theres a tutorial on how to do it
I'd dearly love to be able to run XP & Ubuntu on my EEE (which has the default Xandros) using VirtualBox. Sadly being a nub at these sorts of things, I'm not quite there...
try XUBUNTU 7.10 or newer than install virtualbox from SUN then Create a VM windows and install it with a external CD. Or use a created vmXP4GB or 6GB within your desktop Win or Linux and imigrate.
my asus is a PC900, but with 512mb ram and only flash memory it must be as QEMU runs on PC900 it is quite deceivant or worst. In my case even the SD8gb with xubu71 has not enough space for more then a XP with 3gb that is the minimum since one of my msaccess MDB has more than 1gb. For smaller applications or curiosity is runs. A harddisk woult be better then SD and flash memory.

Do you know what the performance would be like on an EEE 701?

have used only the free one. USB works fine with Virtual Box on my Ubuntu 7.10. It is just the version for xubuntu that does not appear to have it.
