I have found Virtual Box is great at testing and using various OSes from 
one machine without rebooting.  I have one box running eight different 
OSes when I want them.  Linux in its many flavors, Windows of various 
generations, Mac OSes of various eras, and my latest find: Haiku.  For 
those of you familiar with BeOS Haiku will be a pleasant foray into the 
past.  After Be went out of business many programmers decided not to let 
to OS die.  So they, like Linus Torvalds, took it upon themselves to 
rewrite the code in open source form.  Haiku is their model of BeOS.  It 
works surprisingly well and mounting all of my NTFS files is automatic.  
It runs well under Virtual Box too.

Please install and try Virtual Box on your machines to allow you to use 
legacy code on each of your boxes.
