Exclamation none of the above
I'm using VMWare Fusion. It works great for what it is and they've really fixed the major bugs in it.

isn't boot camp already on OSX? I have a macbook and I have windows xp. I just have to restart it to use it. It's not slow at all. When I'm running xp, my computer doesn't even know it's not a pc.

I hated Parallels. It's uber slow even with three gigs of ram. I use Boot Camp now and like it a lot. Especially being able to go into the Windows "hard drive" from OSX and copy or paste stuff.

I too am using VMWare Fusion. I've only been using it for about a month now, but so far, my iMac and Macbook seem to handle Windows XP Pro just fine.
