If the other avenues fail, maybe worth considering VirtualBox ->
http://www.virtualbox.org/

It is open source product, with a licensable version with closed-sourced
extensions. They claim/reported to have better USB support than VMWare.

I have used it personally, and it seems to be on a par with VMWare in terms
of performance.

Cheers,
