I have recently altered my primary PC to boot Ubuntu only.

I haven't really tried doing 3D inside a VM, but I don't think upgrading from a 460 to a 560 would make much of a difference inside the VM since the 3D driver is still experimental and I do not know how it accesses the graphics card itself .

You can choose to make it permanent....
Do you have the Windows 7 Guest additions installed? I would just start the VM and select form the VM Menu Bar, Devices -> Shared Folders - you use a simple dialog allowing you to select a path on your local machine .

The biggest difference i found was:
Win7 handles the load better features in Win7 that make working with tons of windows easier...
Worked on both at the same time.

However, I think you would be better off installing.
Upgrading is possible by hacking a file and rebuilding the ISO file or launching setup from the hard disc, like @taspeotis says .
That was running Win7 RC.

You could terminate the VPN at your end either on a single machine... .
It "just works" and can be run as a service (both client and server ends), available (for example) before user logon .
I would be tempted to set up an SSL VPN using something like OpenVPN .
