There's really no need to...
I've just installed Windows XP Pro on top of my Ubuntu Feisty Fawn installation, using VirtualBox.
This guide will tell you how to do this:
HOWTO: Seamless MS Windows in Edgy with VirtualBox and Beryl!
You don't have to dual boot anymore, as you can use Ubuntu & Windows at the same time, without having to logoff, switch screens or whatever.
Still not convinced? This
screenshot will show you what I mean

Anybody that's using Linux, but still needs some programs only available in Windows should try this out. I'm sure you'll like it!

Of course, the only thing that's still a problem, is games. VirtualBox supports 3D, but not fully. So (for now) don't expect to play 3D games in it.visitor: ups
