ugh.  IMO, dual booting only looks/sounds good until you actually try
to _use_ it; been there, done that.  You're basically always in the
wrong operating system.  I was working on a NASA contract about 14
years ago, before bootloaders had advanced to multiple operating
system support, and spent a few weeks figuring out dual boot Solaris
x86/Windows NT 4 because they really wanted it.  After they had to
switch operating systems about twice, they abandoned the idea.

VMware lets you run both at once, which is a much better solution.
