What I found works for me is having Windows as primary installation and running Linux in the VM. Then I can just alt-tab between these two OSs as I desire.

- lcampbell 14y agoAgreed. I take it a bit further: I have a dual-boot Windows/FreeBSD box, and use VirtualBox to run one OS inside the other, depending on what I'm doing (using a raw VMDK[1]). For me, this is helpful because using Windows as the primary gives me access to games (via working graphics drivers), and FreeBSD as a primary gives me access to a desktop environment that doesn't drive me crazy to work in (XMonad+xterm). I'm probably risking huge dataloss, though. -- [1] http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#idp13208480 http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#idp13208480
