Yeah - VMWare Fusion works great. I was just explaining how great it
runs Linux on my Mac.

They have announced upcoming support, but I doubt that any serious
gamer who maxes out their hardware would ever be happy with any VM.

The hardcore gamers use BootCamp, which lets you install Windows
directly as a dual-boot machine. Once you start it up, you're booting
into native Windows, not running in a VM. A cool thing that Parallels
added recently is that if you installed Windows into a partition for
dual-booting, when you boot into Mac OS X, you can run your Windows
partition as a VM. Best of both worlds.
