The point is, you can have windows and linux running at the same time on one screen and work with both of them at the same time! Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Doing it is very easy, just get the virtualbox into ’seamless mode.’
To do this, you need to install VirtualBox and have a legitimate copy of Windows, whether windows XP or Vista doesn’t matter, something that works ( which unfortunately is not the case with any of them ). Now, configure the virtual machine which is a virtual windows, like this:
1) On the ‘General’ section drag the “Video Memory Size” slider to 64.
2) On the ‘Audio’ section check the “Enable Audio” box.
3) On the ‘Remote Display’ section check the “Enable VRDP Server” box.
Now, run the virtual machine and install the guest additions.
Go to machine > seamless mode and you’re done
