Parallels 6 for free, or Parallels 7 for $35?? My specs are by my avatar. I have a Win7 Bootcamp partition that I'd love to virtualize.

I'd go 6 for free to be honest. I haven't tried 7, and no doubt it has some extra features aimed at Lion, but for the amount of use it will get (presumably) I'd think 6 was good enough.

You can also try Sun's VirtualBox - always free.
