Why are you using a cross-platform tool in a VM?

  yeah, I guess you could mount your source tree into windows and use RM in windows, but then all of the interesting features like rails integration wouldn't likely work - and I have no interest in running rails on windows since that isn't the deployment environment.

    Honestly im running rubymine on mac since it seems as a better web development tool than a windows machine, but considering that all you do with "deploying" rails apps in development mode is reload a browser and that Rubymine supports remote debugging quite well, I dont see why you wouldnt be able to edit your source tree in a mounted drive while running your server in the VM. This way you dont have to deal with memory/hd swap implications of running a fairly memory hungry app inside a memory hungry virtualization layer.
