I'd change that last line to "most likely it will run ..."

There are some cheap fun little toys/tools for people who are into things RF 
within the 25MHz through 1800 MHz frequency range called DVB-T dongles. The ones 
with RTL2832U chips can be used as samplers for Software Defined Radios.

If you can get one to work on a VirtualBox virtualized machine at its usual full 
sample rate capability, 2.4 Msps, please let me know. In my experience the 
virtualized USB bus is vastly too slow to work.

This holds with Win7 hosts and SL6.6 hosts and VirtualBox as of about this time 
last year when I last played with it.

So I'd say "most likely" without the implied assurance of 100% such as your turn 
of phrase suggests.
