I was interested in installing a VM (in VMWare or VirtualBox) to run Windows XP and sync my BB with that Windows instance. I took VirtualBox for a spin and the VM ran great... and with seamless mode, it's almost like having the windows apps running alongside the linux ones... similar to the "coherence" mode for Macs and Parallels.

Anyways, I installed the desktop software and plugged in my BB but it did not recognize it. It did not see anything connected. Has anyone tried out this configuration? Does it work?
