<waves hand> I use it every day. Mind you, I'm running XP,
but I do Windows program development on it and it runs just
fine. I give it 512MB of memory, and programs run on it at

Huh? Nobody told that to the two machines on which I'm
running VirtualBox version 7.0.14 under Debian 12.4.
Maybe it's a grandfathering thing, where I slipped the
Bookworm upgrade into an existing box - but I've seen
no problems whatsoever.
