VMs for testing or running programs that have particular
requirements/dependencies, but I'd only start these as needed and stop
them when finished.
Why not dual-boot? There would be less desire to break from compiling if
you had to completely stop what you're doing to game.
Though, having said that, cryptoware would nuke the disk. The paranoid
pull the power from their data disks when running windows - yes, I know
people who do this! (To be fair, crypto authors would *LOVE* to break
out of a VM...)
