Supposedly parallels is the way to go - there are many issues with bootcamp,
like all of the function keys don't work in windows and a few other fairly
major showstoppers. Virtualization has really come a long way - some
processors even supposedly have special instruction sets for it, but the jury
is still out on how helpful they really are. Some folks say it's like night
and day, others say it's not worth the extra $$$ for the processors. The
guys for TLLTS recently had Erik Troan from rPath on. It was a very
interesting interview.
