in Ask iBAM: Parallels vs Boot Camp on I Bought a Mac
I joined the dark side (a comment from my co-workers) by purchasing my first Mac about a month ago with the idea of using Parallels to run the two Windows apps that I absolutely needed to continue running.

When I told the sales rep at the Apple store that I was planning on running Parallels he suggested that I get 2 GB of memory with my MacBook, which I did. The first thing I did, after initially familiarizing myself with my new Mac, was to install Parallels. That all went very smoothly but installing XP did take some time with all of the updates that needed to be installed. My plan was to try Boot Camp at some point in the future but I've been so happy with Parallels that I doubt that I will ever get to it. I run in coherence mode all day long and it absolutely works as advertised.
