It depends on what it is that you do, but if you want a general answer; no, it isn't. – Jo-Erlend Schinstad Nov 09 '13 at 17:52

The only downfall is you have to share ram when running a virtual machine. You can actually dual boot within the virtual machine as well.
It's far safer testing in a vm than actually dual booting, but as far as effectiveness, really depends on what you want to do as Jo-Erlend Schinstad already said.
