I have run several different OSs within a virtual environment and never seen any adverse issue with it, just make sure you have PLENTY of RAM.
IMO a 2nd hard drive with a full install would be the absolute best way (as fastgame suggested) and if you don't want to dual boot, either swap drives out or get a hard drive switch. I know zipp51 found one and it's layin around here somewhere in another thread...

I think I've maxed out my IDE controllers...Originally Posted by rik
1)Hard disk.
2)DVD Drive
3)CD-writer Drive
4)ZIP Drive
5)Floppy drive
Actually I'm unsure how I have all these as it is- I thought each (E)IDE controller could have 2 devices as master/slave. Unless the floppy drive is a special case I don't understand - I'm sure I have only two(E)IDE controllers in my 6-year-old PC.
Perhaps I could remove the (pointless now a 1Gb USB key costs less than a single 100Mb Zip Disk) ZIP drive and put in a 2nd hard drive?
