Like emceeQ I'm currently running 5 VM's inside of OSX, and 2 of those OS's contain 2-5 VM's inside each of those (ESXi and SmartOS). All on my little MacBook Pro, which I posted a photo on yesterday.
If you're able to, take back the PC

I dont want to run Windows 8, I need to run windows 7 or earlier. Which I do on my mac, but the shipping companies will not load their software onto my mac period…

Win7, XP, 2K, any OS can be installed as a VM….It's almost impossible for the companies to determine it's running on a mac if they only have access from inside the VM. *I've worked with many vendors that won't/don't support virtualization, certain aspects of Oracle software fit in that boat.... Fair point if they're that pushy and won't support even when it makes nil(ish) difference.
Dual boot sounds like the least complicated option. *I'd still run as a Windows7 VM inside OSX, but then again I push for virtualization for a living :).
In Summary; Yuck!
