Is there an equivilant software in either linux or windows that will dual boot an OS as I'm running another OS so I can work on both OS's at the same time? If not I'll be satisfied with my dual boot. I'm just looking for a piece of software that will let me install an OS on top of an OS and let me run that OS on top of the OS I'm running so with my dual monitor display I can run or seem like I'm running 2 OS's simataniously with ease! Thanks! :)

You mean like Virtual PC?

I'm not sure what you're asking for. Boot Camp, like GRUB or LILO or what-have-you, allows you to reboot into a different operating system, not to have two operating systems running side-by-side. If you want that, you'll want virtualization software such as VirtualPC or VMWare or Xen.
