Hey Rey - came across this blog while reading up on VirtualBox and I had a question that I hoped you would be able to answer. 

I run Win7 via Bootcamp and would like to free up the Bootcamp partition on my SSD and, instead, run Win7 via VirtualBox through OSX. So, my question is, since I would be reinstalling Win7 on the same computer (virtually, in the OSX partition) would I be able to use my original product key to activate the handy Win7 IE test copy and just roll with that? 

I wish I'd known about VIrtualBox before I'd partitioned out my SSD otherwise I would have saved the space and just run it virtually to begin with. I don't play games so I could care less about the performance hit - just use it for Office. 

Let me know! I'd love to run it in VM and re-use my key!
