VirtualBox Seamless Desktop

I'm using VirtualBox virtualization software on Windows 7 and it's really quite cool. It allows me to have application windows from Ubuntu seamlessly intergrated into the Windows 7 desktop. Allowing me to do linux programming while easily being able to switch back to windows 7 to play games.

I'm also using the virtual machines I have installed to easily install and test new software without polluting my Windows 7 installation, allowing me to have nothing but the most essential installed. Noteably I haven't installed pdf viewer nor open office, deciding to use a virtual machine for those purposes.
