I think I've finally found the "holy grail" of dual booting. My laptop now has Windows and Linux on different partitions, and either one can run in a VirtualBox inside of the other. That way, no matter which OS I booted too, I still have access to everything in the other.

Protip: never use VirtualBox's "save machine state and close" feature if you plan to dual boot like this. Its too easy to forget and boot to that OS directly next time...
