Installed virtualbox with Win 7 and it works great, fast, smooth and finally can run my metatrader program. Only thing though when I'm working in windows it seems to be stuck to the vm screen which isn't full screen and can't seem to fig out how to make it full screen/enlarge. Any help? As its nice getting metatrader to run but way to hard to work with in that screen size.

edit - nevermind got it to work, didn't know I had to install/enable guest extensions, lets you go full screen now and actually keeps it as the background with os/x apps like running chrome from os/x running on top. Very cool. Great program (virtualbox) for free and does exactly what i need it to do, no point in paying 80 bucks for parallels/fusion for me.
