its not a question :P
i got bored of rebooting everytime i wanted linux/windows from one another, so i found this little toy http://www.e-aquila.com/products/details.asp?SKU=100904 . now i will be able to switch between them without rebooting, its not here yet, should soon though.

very usefull if you got 2 computers and want them on same keyborad, mouse and monitor :D.

I use VMware. I install it on linux, create a virtual machine and install windows on it.
It works great when you want both systems on only one computer.
