[QUOTE="ernani, post: 432028, member: 33902"] Thanks cwa107, The only reason I'm considering Vista is that at some point, that is after vista mature enough for one to be able to call them an Operating System :) , MS will probably stop supporting Windows XP. And thus, I would hate deleting my Bootcamp partition and reinstall everything from scratch. But since I can upgrade at some point, gives me an incentive to invest in installing xp for the time being. So you're in favor of Parallels... I have been a user of VMWare software for many years and I have learned to trust their products, but it is true that they are a new "player" in the field of virtualization for mac... So, if I create a Bootcamp virtual machine with Parallels, and at some point I decide to switch to VMWare, can I create a new virtual machine, again from my Bootcamp partition and have access to all the information (files, S/W installations) I created from my parallels virtual machine? I would expect that a virtual machine created from a Bootcamp partition has full read/write acces to it, right? -- ernani [/QUOTE]
