If you want to use both Linux and Windows Trevor's method will work but you can't do a quick switch between them. If you instal Linux as the main OS you can run Windows as a virtual machine using Virtualbox.
It looks quite spooky at first when you see a VM booting up in a window right in front of you but it works. Apart from Linux host with Windows as guest I've used Windows XP VMs to run older software that won't work in W7 or later. I've also used a W98 VM to run even older software. I've played with Dosbox to run DOS software but for my purposes all my ancient software has been OK in an XP or W98 VM.
