Do you have different partitions or virtualization? and why?

I see that for my hardware Mac OS X is the best OS, but Linux is fun and free, and the best drivers and games are for Windows.

Tri-boot is cool but it is difficult to share the files among the OSes, maybe the best configuration is to use Windows as main OS (for tv card driver and the overclock utility) and to keep Linux and Mac virtualized.

Will XQuartz work in VMware or VirtualBox?
Compiz works http://blogs.gnome.org/calum/2009/04/08/compiz-in-a-box/

I have 5 partitions, 1.5 TB hard drive space



I don't have problems sharing files: just use FAT32. The only real limit are files over 4GB, which normally are DVD isos and can be burnt in any modern OS.
Besides Linux and OS X can read NTFS. They can also write to it, of course, but as you said, it is better not to do it too often.
I find virtualization very frustrating, I hardly ever use it. But I am going to try "XP Mode" for Windows 7.



I partly agree, but I am really enjoying Windows 7, the most advanced OS I have ever tried (only major problem, sleep doesn't work).

I like Win7 but i has less FPS than XP and a ext3 driver is still missing

What do u like of Win7?

Difficult to say in a few words
Maybe I did a better job here:

I suppose it isn't optimized for games yet, and not everything is working 100% yet. I can't get "Sleep" to work.
