Same for me, except that the only problem I had with the problems to make
all systems communicating. This can be solved by various solutions:
_ installing a common $HOME on a FAT or NTFS partition, and using it with
all OSes (so, needs to install FAT or NTFS drivers on linux)
_ let each OS have their $HOME/%HOMEDIR% distinct, and installing drivers
for NTFS/FAT on linux and drivers for extX on windows (I never had those
windows drivers working but it should be doable if there is a real need)
I am still with the first solution on my desktop.

Virtual box does not support applications using graphical hardware
acceleration. Or at least, did not the last time I tried (well I do not
know when it was... more than a year ago, at least).
You will have less performance problems with wine, if your application is
"supported", but the only ways I know to play with a computer running
linux, is to use native games on linux, and a windows partition to boot on
for games not supported (the great majority, sadly).
I think it is also possible that your GPU's firmware is not as good as on
windows. IIRC, one year ago (~feb. 2012) nouveau was not supporting 3D
acceleration, by example.
I do not know if NVidia's drivers are as good on linux than on windows,
too, and have no idea for ATI.

This configuration is the easier to use, since reinstalling windows (I
have this need quite often, but I think it depends on the user) will not
give problems (you will not have to repair linux boot loader).
However, there will still have the problem for $HOME.
For this one, I think the easier is to have a separated partition using a
FAT/NTFS, since linux supports them better than windows supports extX.
