Re: Win7, Linux, Virtualization

I may have a win 98 CD lying around somewhere, though I don't know why I would even think about it...

If I load Linux first as the host OS, would I be able to go back later and load Win 7 as the host OS? Won't there be conflict with the boot loaders?

for years and it's yet to let me down as far as compatibility.

I use most of those for dev environments, FWIW.
