is Parallels Mandatory

is Parallels Mandatory in order to run Windows on my MBP?, or is Bootcamp enough and I just have to reboot in order to use the windows?

Thanks !

It depends on what you want to use Windows for.

Running applications like MS Word or MS Excel and similar programs fair quite well in a Windows virtual machine (VM), but graphic intensive games or video compositing or editing applications fair better in a dedicated Windows installation via Boot Camp.

Booting Windows on the Mac

PS: There is a free VM software called VirtualBox out there.

PPS: I, and many others, use VMWare Fusion for the VM needs (like Windows or Mac OS X or Linux).
