Steve I have just been through this exercise. From 7 to 10.
I have installed Win7 on the bootcamp partition and am using VirtualBox to run Windows as a virtual machine. I normally I run Windows through Virtual Box, but bootcamp provides a real hard disk into which I can start up Windows if I want. Virtual Box allows me to share printers, network connections and other services, meaning I don't have to go through the pain of setting them up in Windows (doing it with a Mac is so much easier for me). I am happily running FM10 without any issues, so far. Have also tested FM10 fairly extensively in both modes to satisfy myself it will provide untroubled service. Virtual Box is a free download. Parallels and VmWare are not. I used to run Parallels and got sick of the all too frequent upgrades that required more bucks to be paid to them.
