As long as USB support is enabled in the virtual machine’s settings window, you can click the Devices tab, point to USB Devices, and select the USB devices you want to connect.
This feature can be used with USB drives and a variety of other devices. You can connect USB devices to your computer and expose them to the virtual machine as if they were connected directly. The 3D support won’t allow you to play the latest 3D games, but it does allow you to enable Windows Aero desktop effects in the virtual machine and play older 3D games that aren’t too demanding. You’ll have to go out of your way to enable this - the appropriate drivers aren’t installed by default when you install Guest Additions and you must manually enable these settings from the virtual machine’s settings window. VirtualBox has basic support for 3D graphics.

For example, if you use VirtualBox to run an important Windows program on your Linux desktop, you can use Seamless mode to have that Windows program be present on your Linux desktop. Seamless mode allows you to break windows out of your guest operating system window and place them on your host operating system’s desktop.

You don’t have to reinstall your guest operating system or manually back up and restore a virtual machine’s files. When you’re done, you can restore the original snapshot and all traces of the software will be erased. For example, if you use a virtual machine to test software, you can create a snapshot of a clean Windows system, then install the software and play with it. Snapshots are particularly useful if you want to do something to a virtual machine and then erase your changes.
