You can run a virtualbox with the other OS (legal of course so Mac OS is a big no no here). You can then use compiz and have XP on one side of the cube.
You won't game too much in vbox but it will work.

You may want more ram if you plan to do this, your system will struggle to run 2 OSes simultaneously. You can run the virtualbox in fullscreen then hold ATL+CTRL and rotate to cube (or use CTRL+ALT+ Left / Right cursor)

No it is not possible to switch operative system without reboot the pc the working solution is virtualbox or other virtualization software.

The virtualbox is how the guy/gal in the video achieved the system they have. The hardware is virtualised too so if you want 3D gaming then you will NEED to reboot to a TRUE install of Windows rather than a virtualized system.
