VM's are better when it comes to disk space and quick refreshes, and are sometimes easier to re-configure, but two OS's have a performance advantage that I've never seen a vm match. Also the free VM software that is available has some serious compatiblity issues with some hardware funtionality. I am currently running XP and Vista64 in a dual boot system, I dumped the VM software because honestly I use mostly Vista64 now and rarely need anything else.
In a corporate environment VM's really start to come into their own.
JUst my opinion.
