I dual boot too and the time spent is close to the 90% that you mention.

Not sure if there exists a firefox plugin to do the IE related testing, but that would be great.

My distro of choice is Slackware. Highly configurable, stable and fast. Great with Java compared to Ubunto as you are not restricted due to GPL issues. I dual boot with Windows 7 but 90% of the time I am running Linux. As for testing on IE, If I need to I develop the CSS and test it on Windows. Transfer to Linux for other features. I don't know if there is a Firefox plugin in Linux which allows you to view webapps as if they were running on IE, I know there is on Windows. Welcome to Linux. My distro of choice is Slackware.
