bluetooth support?

I may just be missing it, but what, if any, support does vbox offer for bluetooth devices? I see several posts under mac os, and linux, but nothing for windows hosts, so decided to ask. I have a barcode scanner that connects to my host via bluetooth, but the vm's can't seem to see any bluetooth at all...ideas?

AFAIK VBox does not virtualize any Bluetooth hardware. It may still be possible to talk to Bluetooth devices via a USB/Bluetooth adapter.

Btw, Bluetooth was not supported as standard in Windows until XP SP2 - before that each Bluetooth dongle had to install it's own drivers.
