Hello!
As a rule, I prefer dual or triple booting, and don't use VMs. Right now, I don't even have VirtualBox installed on anything here.
VMs are great and have their uses, but since VMs can eat a lot of limited resources, OSs perform differently in a real world environment than they do in VMs, I have several old spare laptops (so that I'm never without at least one), and I keep things relatively well backed up, I have shied away from VMs in the past. However, I HAVE recently purchased a new laptop with the resources to run VMs without any lag, so my attitude about VMs is subject to change in the future...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
