Well my WIndows 7 CD came yesterday, gonna be installing it on my new Macbook Pro this weekend. I'm thinking of using VirtualBox since it's free. I'd rather not use Boot Camp if I can help it, since I don't want to have to shut down my mac every time I want to do something little on the PC side.

I have to use the windows Remote Desktop connection to connect to my PC at work sometimes, and I'll have to do some light web design with it.. mostly just using Photoshop & Dreamweaver which is installed on the remote PC.

Anyway, has anyone tried using the remote desktop with a virtual windows instead of boot camp? Does it run good, or am I really just going to need a boot camp full install for it to work well?
