I just installed Windows 7 on my Mac alongside Snow Leopard. I really like both operating systems, and although I will continue to use Mac OS X as my primary OS, I will also use 7 for things like MS Word (2007 loads infinitely faster than Mac office 2008). The problem is: I want to be able to have access to certain files from both OSs (particularly iTunes, but also documents etc.)
So what I was thinking: Creating a third partition, (formatted in FAT32 so that both OSs can read and write them) that is 32GB large (the size of my iPod touch). In this partition I could put my iTunes library and documents that I want access to from both OSs.
My question is: does this seem like a good idea? Has anyone tried this? Are there any issues with two versions of iTunes sharing the same library (especially if they are on different OSs)? Any alternate suggestions (that don't involve virtualization)?
Thanks,
