I am a MacBook and Parallels owner. The latest version of Parallels is spectacular. It has two key features which I simply love:
1) Ability to re-use your Boot Camp partition from within Windows as a "virtual" drive. 2) Coherence -- the ability to run Windows applications without the Windows desktop The reason why Boot Camp alone isn't enough is that you have to reboot. I also thought that I would "make do" with Boot Camp. But I found that the second I was in Windows, I'd want to do something quickly on the Mac side, and vice-versa. With Parallels, I have the ability to stay in Mac OS X and drop into Windows whenever I like. Another handy feature is that I choose to use NTFS for my Windows volume. Mac OS X cannot write to NTFS. But with Parallels, I can exchange files between Mac and Windows more easily. A Mac with both Boot Camp and Parallels is the best of both worlds. As for the original question. Rev 2.8 works very well in both the virtualized and the native environments.
