I used VirtualBox as its a freeware. Mostly my next machine will be iMac and I hope VirtualBox works well on that machine. I don't plan to use Bootcamp as I can not use both OS at the same time. @Meena,

I just wanted it to "boot from virtual disk" feature like windows 7 Hyper-V does. That way guest oses would access hardware directly and let me use DirectX (Windows), Compiz (Linux), etc. I also love VirtualBox.

Btw, how about iCore Virtual Accounts? Is it a good alternative if you're only using Windows? How about an article about that? Meena, had you tried using a shared folder configuration?

Btw, how about iCore Virtual Accounts? Is it a good alternative if you’re only using Windows? How about an article about that?

I tried running Windows 7 RC1 and Ubuntu on Virtual Box with laptop of 4GB RAM, allocating 1.5GB to Virtual OS. My laptop turned so sluggish that I removed everything. It was just pain to work like on 486 kind of machine. I never managed to get Ubuntu or MintLinux install, it would always stuck at 'Configuring apt' at 83%, google didn't give me any better resolution. Finally, I gave up.
