Dual booting is so last century. Just make sure your laptop's CPU *and* motherboard support virtualization (although vmware will run fine without it).

I installed Windows using KVM, just on a lark.

Works fine. A bit slow, but is fast enough for Flash playback (for example).

No 3d acceleration and video is a bit slow. Sound works great.

If you don't need it for games then it'll work great for you.

In FACT.. Now that I think about it you may even be able to use Synergy2 to go back and forth between the desktops with copy and paste support and such...
