The difference is that with a dual boot system, you boot into either linux or windows. With a virtual machine, either the linux or windows operating system runs as a virtual machine in the other operating system. But you don't have to reboot to get to the other operating system. I've found that the only time I use the "other" operating system on my dual boot machines is for testing purposes. For instance, I'm typing this message on a machine that's dual boot but I haven't booted it into linux for months. Really since I set it up. Most often what I do is boot my old dual boot machine into linux and use that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Lewellen" Cc: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
