I am building a new desktop PC today and was planned to install windows 7 on it to run photoshop cs5 and a couple of other windows only programs.
But now I'm learning of virtualbox where one can run multiple operating systems simultaneously. http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html
and it is free.
I prefer linux, so I can install linux and then virtualbox, then windows 7 and run both linux and windows simultaneously. Seems like the best of both.
I have seen on the net that people do run photoshop in windows under virtualbox. But does anyone have experience with photoshop CS5 and calibrating your monitor under windows 7 running in virtualbox?
Any other experience with windows under virtualbox? My other alternative is dual boot, but that is a pain (I have been dual booting linux/windows for a decade).
