I prefer and recommend dual boot with Boot Camp. It's not that difficult
to reboot into the other OS when you need it. Running the two concurrently
essentially cuts your hardware resources in half and that is going to be
far more time consuming than a reboot. And Boot Camp is free, included
with Mac OS 10.5.
As for setting them up - it takes a real investment of time and brainpower
to learn how to do this on multiple computers. If you were just doing one,
it's pretty simple and straightforward - just make sure you make the
Windows partition big enough at the start! You can't easily resize it
later. But if you're going to set up one machine and then clone it to
others, that takes a lot of trial and error and learning. Don't expect to
get it done in a few days.
Winclone is great (and free!) for cloning the Windows side from within the
Mac OS: http://twocanoes.com/winclone/
NetRestore or Disk Utility, also free, are great for cloning the Mac side:
http://www.bombich.com/software/netrestore.html and Applications/Utilities
folder, respectively.
NetRestore is supposed to be able to clone the Windows side, but there's a
whole chorus of techies including myself who couldn't make that work.

#8921 Fusion question
Dear LLTIers,
We've purchased a few new 20" iMacs (2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). We'd like
to
install Windows XP and Fusion on one machine, mainly for demonstration
purposes.
Fusion is supposed to make switching back and forth between the two
operating
systems "seamless"--no rebooting necessary.
Can anybody provide Do's and Don'ts for installing Windows on this nice
new Mac?
Is any preparation needed? Our machines are not managed by the
university--we're
on our own.
Thank you.
