The problem with VMs is that there is no access to real hardware at all,
everything's virtualized. There may be an exception for USB devices, but
neither VirtualBox nor KVM/qemu map real hardware in a 1:1 fashion.
I haven't needed it personally, so I wouldn't
know.
I'd like to use a scanner with Windows-only software, for example.
