X window system, with virtualbox driver also performs very well with no problem at all. Clipboard sharing also works as expected, etc etc. The host operating system is Windows 7 64 bits, 8GB RAM, core I5. I am very happy with this scenario, as I have the best of the two worlds: Windows and FreeBSD (yes, Windows has some specifics advantages in some corporate environments). And I am not an ocassional user: I run the combo Windows 7 + Virtualbox + FreeBSD every day in my company. Only I have suffered some sporadic issues, but almost never FreeBSD related but Virtualbox related (and fixed very soon by VirtualBox upstream, though). Regards
