Hello, Dotan --
VirtualBox does NOT "come with" ANY operating system -- Win-Doze or 
otherwise.  Neither (as such) does it "run Win-Doze applications".  
However, for example, it DOES allow itself to be installed in a Linux 
environment, and then to have a bought-and-paid-for Win-Doze installed 
within VirtualBox.  That "virtualized Win-Doze installation" may then 
have Win-Doze applications installed within IT -- and the Linux user may 
now run the Win-Doze application.  To do so, the Linux user must first 
"run" VirtualBox, which may have almost any number of operating systems 
installed within it.  The next step is to choose the specific OS that you 
want to run -- such as "Win-Doze 2000".  It will "boot", except that 
there will be no "POST" (Power-On Self-Test) process first.  When Win-
Doze (or whatever) has booted, then you have your choice of 
applications, and may run whatever exists.  You may install your 
preferred applications and run them as if you were using a Win-Doze 
computer -- even at the very same time that you are actually running 
Linux as your Host System.  This can be absolutely AMAZING.  And NO, 
this is NOT "Wine" by any stretch of the imagination!!!  If you have 
already paid for MacroHard Win-Doze, by all means, try using VirtualBox 
(3.0.6 is the current version) OSE (Open Source Edition) and give it a 
try.  I have a massive Bible Study system, and this is the only way I 
can use it.  And I "love it" when everything is working properly!!!!!
