Has anybody had any success yet getting a USB webcam to work on a Windows Guest? Specifically XP in my case.
I think the last time I tried it was with 3.0.0 and it still was a no go.

Re: Webcams
I tried it with an XP VM (I have three of those) and it crashed with a BSOD when I connect it after installing the drivers. I don't know if it's a VB problem, or simply an unstable install (I made a bit of a mess of it, installing and removing apps). So far I haven't got much luck either, but then again I didn't do much with it.
