I'd like to know who here has experience *regularly* using either windows under Linux or vice versa to get work done. First of all, I know that what I'm asking can be done using qemu, vmware, colinux, etc. However, I'd like to know if some of these have progressed to the point where I can get them working and can reliably get useful work (win32-specific software development) done under them. I've tried dual-booting, and it's just too much downtime to be useful.
Ideally, I'd use Linux as the host OS and run virtualized windows from its own partition(s), giving me the possibility of dual-booting if nothing else worked, but even windows/Colinux would be acceptable.
If I could do this, it would be a compelling reason to get a new laptop, so I'm interested in other's experiences.
