One advantaage to dual booting is you can get hardware acceleration, which you don't currently get with Linux apps in ChromeOS (though they are working on it).

Another is that most chromebooks have 4gb of ram which isn't much for running a VM on top of an OS.

Hardware acceleration is working fine on the Dev channel with a flag. Shouldn't be too long before it's on by default and available on stable.

They're working on it, though.
