I would rather go other way around: install FreeBSD on bare metal, and run MS Windows, say, under VirtualBox. MS Windows is "bloated pig" (my friend sysadmin started saying that when Windows 2000 was released), Linux makes huge steps in that same direction, FreeBSD would be slimmer than either of them (sorry if I am wrong, there definitely is an expert on the list who will correct me then). Hence, I prefer to run FreeBSD on my laptop, and all others live in VirtualBox virtual machines. That makes me use hardware efficiently, and being able to use other systems when my sysadmin duties call for that and I don't have anything else but laptop in hands. Just my $0.02.
