I'm not completely sold on the idea of emulation vs dual-boot but consider
that if you do use the emulation you only need enough disk space to hold
the apps you're going to run under Windows and a minimal Windows
installation.  There's no need to replicate browsers, all the utility
programs, graphics/sound apps, dial-up, etc.  If you carefully install
Windows, removing all that stuff, it'll take up very little space.  At the
moment I've got Windows, MS Word and Excel loaded into 370meg.
