[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1146073, member: 24098"] Yes, the functions you describe are the primary advantages to running Windows through virtualization (i.e. running both operating systems simultaneously and being able to trade data back and forth via drag-and-drop). As to your numbered questions... 1) Assuming that's a retail version that is not currently installed on another machine, then yes. If it's a "restore disc" it may be problematic, and of course with product activation, you can only have it installed on one machine at a time. 2) Yes, the virtualization product should allow you to pick where you want the virtual disk file stored.
