[QUOTE="Noels, post: 683248, member: 49942"] cjtinkle, I initially installed my copy of XP in Boot Camp because I wasn't sure I wanted to use a VM and I had heard that XP ran faster (natively) in Boot Camp. I used it that way for 2-3 weeks and found I didn't like to have to re-boot to go between OS X and XP. That's when I decided to install Parallels, which, when I got it, was supposedly a better VM. I think either VM will serve you well. If you initially install Windows in Boot Camp and then import it into a VM, you can't use it in Boot Camp any more anyhow, so there isn't any latent advantage to installing Windows into Boot Camp if you plan to use it in a VM... I've been quite happy with Parallels. It's stable and I particularly like the Convergence feature, where I can have both OSes on the desktop at the same time with direct interaction between them. I'm sure you'll be happy whichever VM you decide to use. And enjoy your new iMac. Noel [/QUOTE]
