A 3rd option for anyone who would like the more native experience, but  
need to run other software all day is run CF2a in virtualbox

It works pretty well for experimenting with the system, although I've  
noticed it tends to choke on saving the image back to disk.   I  
haven't had time to figure out why, but that's how this cookie crumbles.
