I actually see a VMWare / Virtual PC solution as far more interesting.
With dual-booting, you have to split your operations between two OSes, whereas with 100% virtualization you can run programs from the two systems more or less alongside each other.
Eg, playing Windows Solitaire while editing in OS X iMovie.
Also, the Virtual PC approach partitions the Windows OS away from critical OS directories, so if a virus / worm / spyware hits Windows, it's less likely to take out your data.
