Using bootcamp on my MacBook Air

My only problem was the awkward reach to the control key when using bootcamp. Used sharpkeys (link below) to map it to the left command key (the right command key stays the windows key). Since the command key in MacOS tends to act like the control key in Windows, this makes the two OSs more similar (cut and paste for example).

On a sidenote: What are the disadvantages using the free Virtual Box tool compared to, say...Parallels?

The only thing I am aware of is that Parallels and VMware claim to have better 3-D handling for things such as games. I think they also try to optimize things so programs run faster.

So really? Not much of a difference. VirtualBox gets updated regularly. I have Parallels but honestly when I need to do something and don't want to boot up into BootCamp, VirtualBox has worked fine for me.
