Parallels AND bootcamp?

[neteng101]

Well, there is. So what do you recommend? Bootcamp, parallels, or both(if this works)?

Both... it gives you the flexibility of using bootcamp when you need full on windows power, and booting up Parallels for other times.

I would recommend looking at Macmall with the extra AppleInsider discount, and the free Parallels after rebate all works in for you.

If you happen to work for a company that has a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) then you should have access to their Home Use Program (HUP) that gets you access to MS products for VERY cheap. Thinks like Office for $20, etc. I'm not sure if Win 7 is part of the program and what the price looks like on it but it's worth asking your IT department if they do have an EA. If you're a student MS also has decent deals through their EDU program.
