Virtualization recommendation

[Michael Ben-Nes]

If your primary OS is the Linux one, then I recommend installing it as a
host and use VirtualBox ( basically because its so easy to use )
If you intend to play 3D games on win7 then note that it wont work on a
vitalized OS. In my case I just created a separated portion just for win7 /
games.

As for the Vista, throw it away and install win7, no reason to waste future
time on upgrade. Win7 work so much better then Vista as a host and as an
guest.
