Operating MS Windows 7 under VirtualBox

Hi, colleagues!

I want to install FreeBSD 8.3 on my home machine, then install VirtualBox and make Windows 7 virtual machine.

I want to ask you if all hardware can be used correctly under guest OS. For example, such hardware as:

- scanner
- GPS navigator (connects as removable drive)
etc.
 
Maybe, if those are USB devices. VirtualBox has USB passthrough, and HPS made it work on FreeBSD. Last I knew it was USB 1. No idea how many people are using it and consequently how well-tested it might be.
 
From my own testing, I found at least one device which only works in Windows under VirtualBox if both the host and the guest is 32-bit, but I guess this has something to do with said device and the Windows driver. A few other device that I tested (USB memory sticks, usb TV tuner (DVB-C)) worked. But my testing was very short and limited. YMMV
