[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 431934, member: 24098"] You should be able to do an in-place upgrade on either Boot Camp or Parallels/VMWare. It's the initial install of Windows that requires a true, non-upgrade edition. Personally, I'd stick to XP. There's nothing (aside from DX10 games) that XP won't run and chances are you don't have a DX10 compatible video card anyway. There's still a lot of bugs to sort out with Vista, I would wait until the first service pack. As far as virtualization goes, I'd say your best bet is Parallels. They have been rapidly developing and improving their product, much more so than VMware. It's also more mature since it's been in full production for some time. I don't believe VMWare has any features that Parallels doesn't at this point. [/QUOTE]
