On a cpu with virtualization instructions such as Intel Core duo, core
2 duo, xeon 5xxx series and many AMD64 cpus performance is great,
though I've not done a side-by-side comparison. However vbox has
seemless mode for running windows apps without running a windows
desktop. It also has folder sharing for Linux and Windows guests, so
you can share folders on your hard drive with the guest OS.

See http://code.bearfruit.org/~matt/tmp/moviemaker.png

Plus, unlike the last couple versions of vmware I've used the guest
extensions actually work on Ubuntu guests without having to hunt
around on the web.
