On a side note, unless performance is a critical issue, it's much easier to use and setup VMs than dualboots if you have the spare memory. I'm satisfied with VirtualBox but if you need 3D acceleration I believe you need to move to VMWare or Parallels. Also Wubi is an alternative if your dual-OS install is Windows and Ubuntu. These two options are less painful paths to a multi-OS install than messing with partitions and MBRs.<br>

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.<br>
