Advantages to the VM design:
- This will allow you to run multiple operating systems at the same time
- Simple, no complex multi-boot configuration
- No drivers to worry about for the guest VMs
- When you are done with a guest VM, just delete the VM files.

I just ran into this issue with my hp g7 1310. Installing Windows 7 x64 driver seem to fix it.
