Also, VM Fusion on the Mac is very good for doing exactly what you want to do. I use Fusion for work daily. The suggestion for the VM Player under windows is also a big +1 from this side.
Thanks - I have a Mac, too, but I doubt that it has enough RAM to run everything comfortably. The next laptop will have either 16GB or 32GB, and of course an SSD for storage. Apparently, Samba can be used to share files between the two operating systems. I already have it configured on my very old Linux laptop which, though still working well, runs very slowly if the graphical desktop is loaded, and can't be used to compile large programs, for example the specialized version of Chromium that allows the latest ChromeVox to be run on a Linux machine. These are all reasons why I have to think about a hardware upgrade, not just software changes.
