New Laptop configuration

I just reformatted and reconfigured my laptop the other day.  I have a 15.4” MacBook Pro with a Intel 2.6 GHz Dual Core CPU, 4 GB of RAM, and a 200 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive.  I’ve been running Mac OS with a Vista and Windows 2K8 VM running in VMWare Fusion for about 2 months now.  Being a SharePoint consultant, I just wasn’t happy with the speed of the VMs as well as with the fact that to do any work I had to boot up Mac OS as well as a VM and diminishing my battery life significantly.  However, there are still aspects of the Mac OS that I enjoy and want to investigate further.  So…I decided to set up a multi-boot system.  Being the SharePoint guy I am, I follow quite a few blogs and remember seeing a few posts by various consultants that have also set up multi-boot MacBook Pros…so I went back to my blogs and found the post by Andrew Connell that pointed me to Spence’s blog with the step-by-step on setting up a triple boot system with Mac OX, Vista and Windows Server.  It worked great and so far I’m really enjoying the setup.  Thanks Spence!
