Have you concidered running one inside the other rather than messing
about with dual boot configurations? Both have a few options; one
especially interesting one with Windows is CoLinux, which runs the Linux
kernel effectively inside the WinNT one:

Another nice solution might be to have the Windows boxes act as thin
clients to a few *ix servers exporting X, or even just running SSH,
depending on what Linux is actually used for. You could do it the other
way around with an *ix rdesktop client and a beefy Windows machine
running a full Windows Terminal Server daemon, but that's liable to be a
lot more expensive (depends what you spend on X clients on the Windows
side; whether the cygwin X server is sufficient, or if you want XWin32
or eXceed or so).
Anyway, just a thought :)
