I suspect to use special char you in windows-virtual box you have to use the windows keyboard shortcuts not the mac ones, which is probably going to be an issue as <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/alt-gr-keys-HP005259063.aspx" rel="nofollow">you need the Alt-GR key</a>.

All the things I specifically love about Apple's UK layout are missing, most noteworthy the glyph modifiers to create special letters used in German, Polish etc. writings (alt-u will not modify the next keypress to create äöü etc.) Shift-alt-minus (-) does not give an em-dash and so forth. Maybe I was hoping for too much and Windows just isn't capable of acting the way I'd like it to... I’m not quite sure what you built this for.

I've created my own layout with the uppercase letters included which you can find at http://www.tty00.org/downloads/apple-uk.zip - source file is at http://www.tty00.org/downloads/apple-british.klc I tried the above keyboard layout on my setup (Windows XP SP3 on VirtualBox 3.1.4 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 on a MacBookPro5,5 with a British keyboard) and I found the shifted (uppercase) letters missing (i.e. nothing happens if you press Shift-).
