Some misconceptions there.

You'll have full multi-processor, openGL and DirectX 3D rendering support.

It clearly states that is attempts DirectX 8/9 emulation. It says nothing about full DirectX 3D acceleration being guaranteed. Also, it states that it have support for Virtual multiprocessor, which is not that same as actual multiprocessor. Not saying VirtualBox isn't better then XP Mode, because it does have it's benefits, but there is no need to make up crap. XP Mode requires no extra license to use XP, where as using VirtualBox does require a seperate license to be legal. This might not mean anything to an average user like yourself, but large businesses have to try and stay legal as they are more prone to audits.

W7 doesn't approach the capabilities of Linux--not even close.

Name something significant Linux does that Windows 7 doesn't. I'll wait...
