It does work amazingly well. With the latest release of Vbox, http://www.virtualbox.org/ I don't notice much in the way of a performance hit with small data sets. I really like the integration of the two OS's the most though. It gives me the opportunity to develop and test on two platforms much easier than I could ever have imagined.

Seamless mode is kind of hard to explain and I did write a short blog article about VirtualBox and seamless mode back in July.

I haven't tried SAS 9.1, but I did get 8.2 running several years ago.
