Thanks for this. I'm currently running vbox 5.2 beta 1. I successfully created a VM in v5.2 but could not select boot media. I also have some issues navigating the list of vm's etc. I've used vmware for quite some time but I'm now forced to move to vbox at work. I would really enjoy to use vbox successfully and I would actually prefer running an open source vm. I'm running windows 7 and windows 10 as my host OS (multiple machines) and I use nvda as my screen reader. I would love to help testing vbox and help improve accessibility going forward. Please let me know if some features need testing for accessibility.
