I'm still waiting for a way to virtualise an existing, natively installed windows/Linux system. Before I switched to OS X (which runs office natively), I had 2 instances of the same windows sitting on my hard drive. One virtualbox image for MS Office, SPSS etc and one native install for games. It would be wonderful if this could be consolidated into one instance, imho, so I wouldn't have to maintain 2 separate windows's. Of course it would be even better if Virtualbox/VMWare would get fully hardware accelerated graphics. But unfortunately that's not about to happen.
