Dual Boot Setup?

Same here.

That's the conclusion I have come to after trying to run it on both.

Same account but the project will see 2 hosts due to the entirely different OSs.

> Will both work with same account but seperate profiles (home/work/etc)?

Yes. I had them working with a different profile for each so that I could set a smaller cache for the Windows side.

It's in the website preferences setup - but I found that I also had to manually edit the client_state.sah file to get it to work correctly.

No need.

That's exactly what I found. It was getting annoying having to boot Windows just to try and keep uptodate with the WUs.

Those are mine - for what they are worth. ;)
