All above is good advice. I'd go further and advise you not use
Outlook Express for email on the virtual Windows. Use either
Thunderbird (related to Firefox) or just use Eudora for Windows in

Given that e-mail is platform agnostic, it would make sense to do no
e-mail at all on the Windows side. Just use mail on the Mac.

Actually, one of the very nice things that Outlook does for you is
handle the central Exchange calendar, meetings, notes, group invites,
etc.
Outlook is a great way to expose yourself to Bad Things but it is
mostly essential for proper functioning in the real corporate world.
You can do some things (turn off the preview pane, make sure your
virus stuff is watching your email etc) to make it more secure; my
guess is you'll not just have to run it, but want to run it, for
access to all the group stuff at the workplace.
That is true of Outlook, and Outlook is unavoidable in a corporate
environment where Exchange is the email server. (It works well too.)
My reference however, was to Outlook Express, which has the bad points
of Outlook (i.e. vulnerabilities to malware) and few to none of the
advantages wrt corporate email environments.
This is getting pretty far off-topic from G-Books though... :-)
