Howdy,

Does anyone have any experience/recommendations for running snow leopard from within windows 7? Like almost the exact opposite of what Parallels does?

The setup I have at the moment (on my macbook pro), means I can be running snow leopard, come across something I want to have on my bootcamp partition (a game for example), so I can download it, then fire up parallels and install it, or check for updates, etc, and then it's ready to go when I boot into windows. Basically, I'm after the same sort of functionality when I'm in windows (mainly just so I can keep an eye on omnifocus, but there will be other benefits!
So, is there anything out there that'll do this, and, more importantly, while running the virtual machine from my actual, working snow leopard partition, NOT totally mess things up?

I'm aware that I could be well into the realms of having my cake and eating it too!

Cheers
