That's cool - I've used VirtualBox, but only briefly.  I didn't know it had an
Integrated mode.  I've seen Integrated mode with Parallels on a Mac and thought
that was cool and thought it might be something useful for a Windows host too.

I haven't messed with Linux in a while, but I've considered running it in a
virtual machine rather than giving it its own partition, since I mainly use
Windows.  It seems like that might be a more convenient way to use Linux when I
want/need to.
