It _is_ supported, but at least in my experience operations are slower.

I think you are confusing "not supported" with "definitely doesn't work".

Btw, I won't be de-obfuscating your URL. We don't recognize any offsite authorities when it comes to VirtualBox.

Also, Socratis is no longer around to continue his side of the discussion, so I think I'll lock this topic.
