Agree, although I had a setup once with RedHat and VMWare: dual-boot, predominantly into Linux. While in Linux, I could fire up the Windows installation inside the VM. But the ability to dual-boot wasn't needed: I never did it! > These days, with sufficient hardware, a VM is a good alternative. Both > OSes can be available simultaneously. This is the best. Currently a MacBook is my main machine, with VM's for Linux and Windows. I miss running Linux natively, however, and may purchase a Linux laptop next and run OS X in a VM instead.
