Maybe you've been running long enough to have forgotten the start-up 
problems.  Or maybe someone warned you about them in advance so that you 
didn't have them.

HERE is the first place I ever read that you can't activate Windows 
before installing the guest additions.  In VMWare, the guest additions 
were installed by a script that the guest O.S. would run (after VMWare 
made the location available to the guest).

So I thought I had to get Windows going first.

Also in VMWare, the display and mouse worked properly with or without 
the guest additions.

But, hey, I shouldn't be too picky about a free product.  :-)
