If the VM software supports OpenGL acceleration in the VM then PyMOL will run using direct rendering. Otherwise, it falls back onto software. As I understand it only Parallels at this time offers OpenGL support in the Linux VM. (But, Parallels doesn't yet support OpenGL in Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity, it's planned for their next update.) Both Parallels and VMWare offer OpenGL for Windows.
