I'm going to try it out as a replacement for my Windows virtual desktops. I don't usually need to run Windows software in a Windows environment, but for the times that I do, I'd like something that doesn't try to upgrade to Windows 10.

Bleh never mind. Networking doesn't work in a VM :/

Are you sure? ReactOS has working networking under VirtualBox, at least. Check which network card is being virtualised.

Tried it with all the different network adaptors Virtualbox provides. It basically comes up with a driver installation request, then fails, saying "The device could not be installed because the driver could not be found". Same goes for audio, and pretty much any driver.

This is on the latest Virtualbox (which I just downloaded) and the latest ReactOS (which I just downloaded).

ReactOS does not like the latest VirtualBox. For me it works well under VirtualBox 4.1

For me it also works good on Vbox 5.0.10
