A nice idea to implement with something like TrueCrypt,
I think, would be to have "portable" versions of Firefox,
OpenOffice, Thunderbird, etc, in both linux and windows
versions, and further, have them setup to share the
bookmarks file and mail folders... anyone?
(seems like it might've been done already, maybe
 without TrueCrypt... I had a nice dual-boot Thunderbird
 setup back when it wasn't as easy to setup :)
