Guys, i have a question about virtual machines. If i install Windows 7 Ultimate x86 on vm and i setup 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD, does my laptop have then 3GB RAM and 710GB HDD (does virtualbox/vmware take them permanently, or only when vm is powered on) ? :)

When powered on only. also it won't take the whole 40GB until you fill them with files..
