Just install GNU/Linux on VMWare with CPU virtualization enabled and get two OS in a laptop with the minimum of fuss.
And far less battery life.
I often run Ubuntu or Windows on my MBA with VMWare to compile some software. It's one of the best methods to soak your battery empty quickly.
- pjmlp 13y agoWell, I do have a laptop with Windows 7 and a netbook from Asus that was sold with a Linux distribution. I use GNU/Linux since 1995 and on a laptop still looks like 1995 to me, in terms of graphics card, battery, hibernation and wireless support. My Asus, which was sold with a supported Linux hardware, does not hibernate. In terms of battery life I am yet to find a laptop where GNU/Linux lasts longer than Windows.
