I did this and it worked very nicely. Great to be able to use both at
the same time.
BUT BEWARE
I have a tendency to leave vbox-linux up for many days (and sleep
cycles) with much stuff open which can cause some problems.
The last time I noticed a problem was when I was working in Thunderbird
and got sudden black screen meltdown. Ended up with corrupted win7
registry. I was able to copy my vm and win7 data but had to restore
win7 from backup and update.
Now I am using dual boot.
I mount my win7 drive from the F19 boot and use word and excel files in
Libreoffice, use win7 storage for thunderbird and such.
I only boot to windows to use Quickbooks or play Half-Life:)
