yeah-dual boot is like super easy, especially since linux doesn't care where it resides on the disk/partition like windows does.

Having Linux and windows on the same computer is no great feat. I can boot SuSE Linux or Win XP at start up. SuSE lets you shrink your windows partition to make room for it, and is also able to read NTFS (windows file system) and read/write FAT32 and FAT16

If you want to run windows stuff in Linux, you can use wine or winex (for directx type stuff).

Similarly, if you want to run linux stuff in windows you can use cygwin.

Neither of these are really that new.
