I've used both Boot Camp and Parallels and a prefer Parallels for normal applications. It runs any x86 operating system--not just XP-- along side Mac OS X, so there's none of that rebooting to get into XP and it doesn't require a separate Windows partition. Moving data between Windows and Mac OS X is easy, so you don't have those questions about losing data. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
