So 10GB is good for a secondary operating system that isn't used very often. Of course, when you use the Boot Camp Assistant, you can technically choose however much space you want. Just in case this isn't clear, it means 10GB is the hard drive space Windows will see available to it, not the entire hard drive in your Mac. So if you set your Boot Camp partition for 10GB, then you'll have 10GB to install Windows on and any other Windows programs you might wish to install. The latest beta version of Parallels (available from their website) allows you to use your Boot Camp partition under virtualization. So you no longer have to use twice as much space to maintain both a Boot Camp partition and Parallels image, as used to be the case not too long ago.</blockquote>
