If you have enough RAM you should be able to run two vms at the same time.

If you have two vms running you can simply click inside the window to open the "other" vm (if they are not one on top of the other and not fullscreen). If you can't see the other window you can switch by selecting the other screen from the taskbar on a Windows host.

You switch between two VM windows the same way you switch between any two app windows on a Win7 host.
