I tried VirtualBox a while back before Sun bought it, and I thought it looked good, but then I ended up re-installing Windows XP and never got round to re-installing VirtualBox, but then I saw Mark Baker's tweet about the seamless mode and I thought I'd try it again.
It took me about an hour - including downloads - to get VirtualBox, Ubuntu and the "Guest Additions" running. Once you have the guest additions running, it adds a video and mouse driver so that you can pretend you have both OSes running together. I have my Ubuntu task bar on the right, and my Windows one on the bottom. Just to demonstrate I have the Ubuntu terminal window and the Windows Control Panel both up. Now that's what I'm talking about.
