Really? Surely the best way is to shrink the windows partition by at least
20 gigs and then install Mint side by side. The installer works out how to
leave Windows alone and the boot manager handles the rest. It's so idiot
proof I have done it several times and never broken anything. I can mount
windows folders for data sharing. All this talk about virtualization is
very cool but seems way over the top.

Am I missing something?
