Yes it will use RAM for the host OS (in this case Ubuntu) and the guest OS (windows). If you run windows apps under wine, you dont have this issue.
What you see in that video was done on a 2GB machine though. Ubuntu needs ~300 Mb, XP a similar amount. Leaves plenty for most apps.

just one question. if you are runing your VM *(seamless mode) on your already runing host OS, wouldn't it consume twice the RAM???? (linux + VM ) am i wrong? ... <--concerned because i only have 2 gb in ram :((

I might agree if it was something obscure or hard to find. But its the name of the app, you cant miss it on google and the virtual box page explains perfectly what it does, better than I can. And if he has no idea what virtualization is, then I doubt the video would interest him. "What is Linux" might be a valid question in a different context too, but not here.
