Hey, I just tried this and Windows did not have to re-activate, but there is still some minor unhappiness which is easily overcome. I can boot natively and the Apple hardware drivers work in BootCamp, so the machine runs extremely fast. Then I boot OS X and run Parallels. Everything is still fine. I shutdown Windows and run VMware Fusion and everything is still fine. BUT IF I GO BACK TO PARALLELS AFTER FUSION, the Parallels config files have been corrupted. The easy fix though is to go to the file menu and choose Remove. Allow it to delete EVERYTHING. Then it walks you through a fresh setup wizard and you choose BootCamp again. Parallels then works as expected. In summary, they can coexist, but VMware Fusion throws a few punches below the belt (me thinks).
