I am running FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE as a VirtualBox host with three Windows 
7 VM from February 2013.
The FreeBSD server has an Intel i7 with 64 GB RAM. The server and the 
VMs are very, very stable.
I am writing this mail in a Windows 7 VM via Mac OS X Remote Desktop and 
seems to work on real PC.
The only real, unique issue is  the VM clock drift: it is slow, very 
slow and I need to synchronize it every 5 minutes.
In the log I can read from +105ms to +50,43s as adjustment.
