The Problems With Dual Booting
Whether your computer is primarily running Windows, OS X, or Linux, are you or have you ever thought about dual booting two operating systems? It can be done, and why only have one when two are twice as nice, or so they say.
I’ve done the dual boot "thing" before, and although there are many benefits, I still think that I prefer having a dedicated machine for each operating system. Call me crazy, but I like to have each experience running on separate hardware, and while this does take up some extra space, a KVM switch can make it more manageable than you may think.
For example, if something went wrong with the computer that housed my assortment of operating systems, I’d be stuck.
