With the latest Parallels you can actually use the same partition/
windows install for Bootcamp and Parallels. That way you can stay in
osx most of the time and only reboot into Bootcamp if you need better
hardware support (games?)
Personally, I have parallels open all the time (testing soap
compatibility between .Net and PHP) and rarely reboot into
bootcamp. Visual studio runs great and everything feels snappy in
windows.
If you are going to use several os x apps (specially ZDE, mail and
firefox) at the same times at parallels you really need 2 gigs of ram.

Is Parallels the way to go to run Windows on a MAC? Don’t bother

Cliff, I'm about 3 weeks ahead of you. The MacBook Pro is great!
Run it with Parallels and you can develop in both Windoz and OSX
(nice for browser output comparison). OSX comes with PHP 4.x so
you'll have to upgrade if you want 5.x - mysql needs to be
installed. OSX also comes with Apache 1.x. I'm in the process of
installing Zend (appears to work w/out a problem).
Note: OSX is a gui friendly version of FreeBSD. The upside is
it's Unix, the downside is there a learning curve if you're not a
Unix guy.
In general - jump in, the water is great!

After this flurry of ZEND IDE p roblems, my lap top 's 10 minute

finally time to get a new lapto p. And I'm thinking of bailing
Windows to get a Macbook p ro or just a regular macbook.
Is anyone using Zend on an Intel-based Macbook? Any p roblems? Good
develop ment environment? Any comments regarding the Macbook vs
Mackbook p ro?
Chanukah is only two days away…
