At least I used it last spring.

you can't copy paste text there last time i checked, so it was only useful for chatting. xdcc is is a pain,
especially if it has japanese characters in it...

It takes about 20 seconds to resume a VM from a suspended state.

Hah, I think I might actually be agreeing with Tomoya for once.
I once had XP installed as a main OS, and Ubuntu installed in dual boot and in a virtual machine. I hardly ever booted into Ubuntu. If there was ever a time I needed to use Ubuntu, I would also need to continue using XP for everything else.
Seamless mode is awesome, by the way.

And if your computer is fast, it barely skips a beat while runnning 2 or 3 os.

You've always been able to copy paste text in there. Just paint the text and it copies it automatically. Right click and it pastes. ;)
XDCC works fine for me but then again, I only use that on bots when I dl. Never conversations or personal file transfer so... *shrugs*

I believe that option exists but I have never tried it.

It's still a dual boot, just without a separate partition I believe.
