Virtual Machine with XP so no experience.

That's probably the issue: most people don't know how to run those 
details on their computers.  Those stories of people using the CD tray 
as a cup holder and stuffing money in the floppy slot are true!  ...To 
me a warning/reminder of a potential problem is nice, but yes, let me 
get around it if I need to, plus have the option to stop whining about 
the specific incident.
