If I want to setup a bootcamp partition for windows and use that partition as a virtual machine within the mac, what are the pros and cons of doing this with VMWare Fusion vs Parallels Desktop.

I've heard that parallels desktop has had problems where you have to reinstall the parallels software each time you boot into the bootcamp.

I've read w/ the VMWare that you don't get certain features if you use the straight bootcamp partition.

Any advice is appreciated. I plan to install XP under bootcamp on my mac this weekend.
