Yes, I think it is better because you save the RAM for the virtual machine.

I would contact the add-in vendor. Either they provide a single binary
add-in for both IDEs or they provide different binary add-ins, one for each
IDE. Each VS.NET IDE uses a different registration entry to register add-ins
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AddIns,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\AddIns) so they should
coexist peacefully.
