i think it really depends on what you are going to use it for. i really only want windows for gaming so i should have bought bootcamp, i have parallels.. i think parallels works great, just kind of slow (i have macbook intel duo 2, 2 GHz, 1gb ram, 160 gb HD -- so not the fastest machine) and i cannot get games to work. but sounds like you might not use it game, so go for it
