How well does VirtualBox integerate the clipboard between the host and guest environments? I think of all the functions of the VMware Tools, clipboard integration is what I use most. Second would probably be file sharing (i.e., the guest, at least Windows, can see select portions of the host file system as Windows / CIFS shares). And, of course, I make ubiquitous use of the virtualized network connections. I do like knowing that my Windows is behind a NAT, at least.
Actually, I don't think the host-to-guest file sharing is done via SMB / CIFS. When I view the Properties dialog in my current VMware setup, it shows the type as "Network Drive" and the "File System:" as "HGFS" (which I've never seen or heard of elsewhere, I don't think). As far as I can tell, this is a VMware-proprietary file system used solely for the purpose of host-to-guest file sharing.
