I have been lurking here for some time in the early stages of planning
a move in the direction of Linux. Many of your posts have been
interesting and helpful to me.

When running Windows in a virtual box, how is the interface to
hardware devices handled? In other words, is everything done with
Windows drivers, or does the problem still remain with needing Linux
drivers?

I have been changing over slowly to programs that exist in both
Windows and Linux, e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird/Lightning, open office,
etc., but Quicken and shortwave/ham radio software will be something I
will probably need Windows for. The radio stuff in particular is why
I ask about drivers.
