Previously, I described how to get some freedom from the “no admin privilege” restriction that many workplace computers have. Until VirtualBox realizes the value to them of supporting portability, using VirtualBox won’t actually help you go portable. Update: SORRY! It turns out that VirtualBox ties its configuration very closely to specifics of its host machine (such as through the MAC address), so I have to back away from the “portable” claim in this post’s title.
