This also gives you the ability to run both OSes in parallel and not have to
close everything and reboot to run the other OS.  I've been using Vmware
Player for several years now to get to my Exchange email and to manage our
Vmware ESX farms here at work.  I also use the VM to get onto our PITA VPN
that only has a windows client.
