Bootcamp works grat. Fusion got tangled whenever I installed and tried to set up windows up under it. I had already instlled windows under bootcamp and wanted to make a vm out of it which I was assured was posible and it was even selectable from the vm list. It was slow and never worked right for me but I know it works well for others and for what you want to do, it will be fine for you if you can get it working.

He said that as a rule, he personally doesn't duel boot because he knows what goes on under the hood. He said that it's very hard to uninstall an os if necessary and should something go wrong, which he does say is unlikely, it might cause a problem with booting on the Mac side. He did say that perhaps, Apple has fixed alot of these issues and Bootcamp might be a great program, but he hasn't used it and hasn't had enough time to play with VoiceOver and the Mac in general. Anyway, there's the added benefit of just being able to delete a virtual machine if something goes wrong and I can move files from one side to the other more easily than I can with a duel boot. I can also run Leopard while running Windows so if I need to use both systems at once, I can. All of that said, I'm curious about the problems that Fusion has caused you. I'd like to know the pros and cons here. I know that vmware requires drivers and that it's a little slower to run certain things like Skype under it, but I'm not really too concerned about that.
