The benefit there - is that you can switch between them and not have to shut one down to access the other one. I am sure that is the same with Ubuntu in a virtual session and XP as the main OS.
I've had major issues with installing it on a laptop.It just won't install on my old presario 2100.Had to change the boot order and now it continuosly restarts,can't get in safe mode or any mode for that matter.Even after hitting F8 I can read the blue screen after suspending the restart option but no other options work.Took it to the Dx down the road and this isn't an isolated thing,many laptops won't work with linux based op systems.

HP desktop is fine...dual boot system working fine.Go figure.
