[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1182230, member: 46727"] For the occasional Windows application that needs to be run, you might want to give Oracle's [URL="http://www.virtualbox.org/"]VirtualBox[/URL] a try. It's not as frilly as Parallels or Fusion but it does the job and most importantly, it's free. And, a word of caution about using your Boot Camp partition as a VM with Parallels or Fusion: Windows XP is not stable when run that way as there have been many users who have experienced boot sector corruption. Vista and Windows 7 use a different boot sector scheme and are OK to use that way. [/QUOTE]
