You should give a list of .iso's on the website for Windows 95 - newest versions of windows. You should do this because most people don't really trust "pirating .isos" or "iso download sites" They mostly come with malware. I don't pirate myself but I want to get virtualbox and use windows xp.

If you're asking for Virtualbox to provide installation downloads of Windows operating systems, 'tain't gonna happen. There's a species of cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers called "lawyers" who'd come and eat Virtualbox alive for posting copyrighted software.

Rather than Virtualbox armor itself for such an attack, the sensible thing to do is to allow folks to get their own install CD's as they would if installing on a physical computer: they go to a legitimate store or website and buy the disc. Or they use a disc from a friend who no longer has the OS installed on their computer. Or they use Linux...
