On the same note... What has worked well for me is to partition the harddrive into 3 partitions. On one small partition have windows installed, on another small partition have linux installed and leave the third, largest partition for saving all of your files. You then have a dual boot system, which can read all of your files no matter what operating system you are in. This may not be as convenient as a virtual LINUX install for switching back and forth between operating systems, but might give you better performance. In the past I have tried running linux programs through Cygwin and windows programs through wine, but in the end I found that the amount of painful bugs that I needed to figure out just was not worth it.
