[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 527866, member: 24098"] I am using Parallels and have never had a software installation glitch. Running software that requires full DX9/3D support is another story, but installation has never been a problem. I can see where you might have difficulty establishing connections to networked printers depending on how you have the virtual network adapter configured, but software installation should not be directly related to the fact that it's running in a VM. One of the nicer things about Parallels (and I'm sure Fusion does this as well) is that you can have it open an existing Boot Camp Windows installation within a VM. As you mentioned, that gives you the best of both worlds to some extent. The only downside is that the "pause" mechanism in Parallels requires a hibernation in Windows (instead of instant on, instant off) and the partition size is not dynamic - so you have to feed Windows a fixed amount of your hard disk.
