any idea which of these software types will allow the use of the usb ports? (i wanna use a capture device on my mac but its only windows compatible and is connected via usb)

I am glad to see that VirtualBox wins by a factor 3, but VirtualBox is not freeware, it is free software (released under GPLv2). There is a HUGE difference between thous two.
