Multi-OS setup: dual/multi-boot vs virtualbox

Greetings,
I'm a novice at assessing the question of multi-boot vs using
virtualbox.
I've seen a lot of discussion on this topic on this email list; some of it
expressed with frustration ("I can't upgrade my Fedora installation
because of my multi-boot setup ..."; or "why use a multi-boot system; use
VirtualBox").
So my general interest is to continue using Fedora as my primary OS; but
enough times, I need to use the MS Office suite.
I have a laptop (Dell Latitude E6220 with MS Windows 7 factory-installed;
750GB HD, 8GB RAM). I've begun a few multi-boot installations using
Fedora, to see what some of direct challenges are (the first
steps to shrink an existing partition, in order to create room for a
Fedora installation). But have never completed an installation.
Advice, thoughts?
Suggested links?
Much thanks,
