I am just now trying this and I am not too sure if this is a good idea or not, but there are things that one does better than the other and I am currently going to keep my files on a second partition and have them both access them. Does that sound like it would work? I am trying it and will update this post later if it works.

i have run into the first issue. i have both OS's installed, but the problem comes when you try and install Windows.
bootcamp requires 1 partition and that is where the problem comes in...

yeah, i wouldn't put them both on the same drive just for now. I have Leopard on an external and my bootcamp and tiger on my internal so that I can boot into any three.

If you've got Leopard you're a developer. If you're a developer you should be dual booting to test your apps.

Dual-booting by putting a Beta OS on a separate drive is prudent.

What I want to know is, why do you need two topics that cover pretty much the same question? Because you're so f'n kewl for having Leopard? Can I have your autograph??
