I've had a couple of people suggest they were going to dualboot and I often suggest against it. Logging in and out is more of a deterrent than people realize.

The only instance where I think it would be effective is if you work with MS software, in that case you can get away with having a work OS and a home OS.

I think it's better to have a work computer and home computer. Not just for ease of switching to Linux, but also because doing anything personal on your work computer is a security risk.
