Those things are controlled by the host OS anyway. USB is supported by the PUEL (non-opensource) version but I could never get it working properly on an OpenSolaris host. Now I am running the opensource version on FreeBSD so I have to do without USB or VRDP support, no big deal, other network-based methods are better if not more handy at times imho.

It affords you the opportunity to test out new software without risking your existing install. It also allows Linux users who have a significant investment in Windows software to continue using said software. For Linux newbies migrating from Windows to Linux, it is a sheer necessity. You can try different distro's from within Windows to see which one's you like, then use a virtualbox or virtual machine to run windows from within Linux until you learn your way around. BE AWARE! VIRTUALBOX WILL NOT ALLOW THE USE OF USB DEVICES. If you use a USB mouse, keyboard, printer, or flash item, none of them will work. There is supposed to be a pay version that will allow you to use USB, but there is no mention of a download link on their web site. Virtualbox is a necessity for a few and a gadget for the others.
