While Microsoft Windows XP is known to crash early on during installation if USB keyboard and mouse are detected, Windows 7 and beyond support them out of the box. Moreover, it has been reported[1] that PS/2 virtual devices are much slower than USB ones in Windows 8.1. Lets add these devices to list of supported devices to Windows 7 (and therefore all inheriting OSes, e.g Windows 8.1) so that virtual machine manager apps (e.g Boxes) have an easy way to decide whether to use USB or PS/2 devices for a particular Windows OS.
