Certainly not with VMWare Workstation/Server (which is what I'm assuming you meant, VMWare is a company not a product). Can't speak for VB though. You might be interested to know that Macs running VMWare Fusion can do just what you mention. |

VirtualBox wiki claims thay yes, you can actually run Windows 7 as a guest operating system. I didn't actually try it, the closest to this is running Windows XP as a guest under FreeBSD. I'm not sure if you actually meant running your existing dual-booted installation of Win7 under Ubuntu - VirtualBox can't do that as far as I'm aware, but VMWare something-or-other might. |
