Installed a copy of Virtual box on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit today for something to do and tried Vida 2012A just for fun. It installs reasonably fast (for Windows). I had to run the patch a second time using "run as Administrator" and I had to run the vm and shut it down several times before it would capture the keyboard. - Vida was opening but I could not enter anything in the Login box. DiCE was slow to load the first time - right click the USB icon in vm toolbar and select the Seatec DiCE.

Virtual box is free and works on both Windows an Macintosh. The software is good but the manual is poorly written and takes some fathoming if things do not run straightforwardly.
