Hi All!
I am trying to figure out the best "usable" way to install W7 Ultimate on my MacBook Pro with a HD of only 320 Gb, I have been reading a lot about it, and then found this article about a "different" option by doing a triple BootCamp partition setup to create a common workspace on the Macintosh HD for both Mac OS X and Windows 7.

What do you guys think?
Has anybody done this on 10.7.3? I have read that apparently in this version BootCamp won't let you start partitioning without the Windows 7 disk inside the optical drive which makes everything a bit more complicated because it will start installing immediately without being able to format the middle partition.
Any ideas? Is there another / better way to do a triple partition?
How does it compare to other solutions?
Any other ideas for a common shared Data workspace?
Do you think this solution really saves space by having only one common Folder for both W7 and OS X for iTunes, Music, Photos, Office docs, etc. ?
Is it better than BootCamp together with VM Fusion?
Any experiences and inputs appreciated, thank you!
