Haha, I understand completely, that makes perfect sense. :)

It might not be a perfectly logical justification, but I feel more comfortable having Windows just in it's little self-contained environment on the Mac HD. To be honest, if some of my clients weren't on SQL Server, I probably wouldn't even have Parallels installed... Well - and for playing with CF/.NET integration. I do all my other CF/Flex development directly on the Mac.
