What is the difference between parallels and bootcamp,which is best,and is parallels a waste of money if you have bootcamp
Thanks for the replies great help,what i want to do is run some website software Serif webplus 10,which do you think i should use,
That's why I use virtualization software. VMware Fusion in my case. For my study I need windows for some programs. I can quickly switch between OS's. With enough RAM it's easy.Parallels allows you run virtual machine - windows, so you do not have to reboot everytime you want to jump in win - you just jump in another desktop, while bootcamp means reboot everytime you want to switch os.
... and last thing, there are free alternatives for parallels.

Can you elaborate, please?
As a web developer I just need win for checking site rendering on IE7 and/or light office usage (no games).
What would you suggest: VMware Fusion, Parallels or free alternatives?

I like the look of VMware,i'm going to ask some stupid questions now,
If i download VM is it like an app do i just click on it to open it.
Do i need a windows disc and where does it load to when i load it.
Do i have to load windows based software once or everytime i want use it.
Can i drag photos from iPhoto to window based software.

bootcamp is the only option if you want to play games or any 3d graphic intensive applications.
You obviously think people run windows to just play with the operating system. I'm sure you would be surprised to learn, but there are some excellent applications that are only available for windows and in most cases these will run extremely well on a virtual machine via parallels.Im mystified why anyone would even want to use a windoze product. The only usable windows was XP Pro and that was years and years ago.
