I currently have Windows XP Pro installed on my iMac using Boot Camp. Im think aobut get VMware Fusion so i can use both windows and mac os at the same time. Would i need to unistall the windows i have installed with bootcamp in order to run VWware fusion?

Nope! You can tell fusion to use your bootcamp partition :)
 
sweet so i just install VMware fusion and tell it to use my boot camp partion and then i can use windows and macos at the same time. I love macs, they make everything so simple.
 
Oh that's just frickin brilliant. I was wondering how I was going to set this up so both Parallels and BC used the same partition... looks like I'll be using VMWare instead of Parallels!
 
i tried VMWare first, but then realized it's not powerful enough to play most 3D games. tried with Battlefield 2 and it would start the game but then go black and crash. ended up going with BC and it works fine.
 
For those going with a pure virtualization solution (no boot camp). You owe it to yourself to take a look at VirtualBox before paying for Parallels or VMWare.
