Question:  Does she need the ability to cut+copy+paste between the host
and the vm?

If the answer is no, then VirtualBox (http://virtualbox.org)  should
work fine.  I've been using it for a while now and have been quite happy
with it.  It replaced VMware, due to VMWare not working well between
suspends and resumes, as well as interface switching (wifi to wired and
back).
