Boot windows in linux

Hey folks;
I have to have a dual-boot system: Windows 7 and Slackware. Rebooting is painful! Isn't there a way for booting Windows inside Linux? Not like VirtualBox thing, I've Windows on my hard drive.

+ I'm sure there is a way because I've read some HOW-TOs about it but sadly I can't find them.

You will need to use virtualization of some kind -- virtualbox, vmware, etc. Either that or run Wine so you can run some Windows programs natively.

The other choice would be to use something like co-linux on windows.

There is or at least was a commercial windows version of unix like posix stuff. It really could run most of what linux could in windows com and exe files. I still have it somewhere.

VirtualBox also has that feature ... I'm more inclined to use VirtualBox for it because the 3D support in a VM is much better ...
