i recently started using Ubuntu 10.4 LTS on my system using VirtualBox but the screen comes small at just half the monitor screen size. any idea how to increasing its size? its not too small but still a bigger size of the Ubuntu desktop will be helpful. also out of the 3 softwares, which one will you choose & for what reason?

i'll use mainly WinXP, Ubuntu, Suse & Fedora. running Win7 32bit.
 
guest additions? whats that? any link to download it?

I've been using VMWare Player since quite some time now on Windows 7 to run Windows XP as guest OS. It works perfect, and doesn't lag at all (after installing VMWare Tools) like MS Virtual PC..

thanks. will give it a try. if problems occurs, will switch to Fedora or Suse. hope they don't create problem. else a fresh install of Linux alongside 7.
