[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 462938, member: 21101"] You have to have a full legitimate version of the OS you want to run, either in Parallels or Bootcamp (or VM Fusion). As the guy bove me said, the big difference is that running an OS in Parallels does not require a reboot. With Parallels, you can use either install the software within a virtual drive within your OS X partition or you can use the bootcamp partition (which will be essentially an NTFS partition kept separate from OS X. IMO, the [B]only [/B]reason to choose Bootcamp over Parallels is if you want to play DX9 games. [/QUOTE]
