I'm currently thinking about VirtualBox vs. dual boot. I'm used to working with Cygwin command windows on my Windows desktop. There are various issues with Cygwin, both itself and WRT MM 3, so I need to move away from that. VirtualBox would allow me to continue to work in a hybrid environment with some Windows applications and some Unix like applications running together, but dual boot might avoid potential hardware interface issues and would motivate me to move completely away from Windows (although I would probably still need access to Windows to diagnose user problems with the web site I admin).
From a technical standpoint, you can run Windows in a virtual machine hosted on Linux. :)
