I have a computer which I dual boot with Linux and Windows. Generally I spend a couple of days in one OS until necessity requires that I swap.

Currently, they have separate installs. I was wondering if it is possible to install the Unix client and windows client in the same directory to enable sharing of work units and profiles.

Alternatively, if there are problems sharing directories en masse, I could selectively link (ln -s) specific directories( projects, slots) or files (global_prefs.xml)

Has anybody tried this or know something about it?
