I have used virtual box alot for both testing ditros and running development enviroments under windows. (visual studio 6) with <br>great success. I eveb had photoshop cs3 running on XP guest configured to 256mb ram and 32mb graphics. little slow to start and slightly slower than running it native but more than useable. <br>
<br>I agree if was just aplications for development (no 3D) then this is definatley an option. but if you p;lan on windows gaming then the performace hit is great and that even if u can get them to run. 3D support in virtulised systems is choppy (to best of my knowlege) <br>
<br>i think the grub4dos method linked earlier is the best bet. <br><br>although if u have enough space nothing stopping u setting it up with a cut down version of xp(nlite) or vista(vlite) in a virtual machine for editing code in the ide. (can mount shares in vitualbox). <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLite">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLite</a><br>
