1) Boot Camp sets up a new partition on your HD and you can install Windows on that partition, then swap between Mac OS and Windows by rebooting. For some hardware testing this is better than virtualisation as the OS is dealing with the hardware directly. For instance, you get access to the internal Bluetooth, which doesn't (last time I looked) work under Parallels.

The beta version of Parallels let's you use this 'existing' copy of Windows instead of needing a second install.

2) Windows application windows interleaved with Mac windows, instead of it all being kept within the Parallels window/desktop. Personally I'm not too keen as it's a horrible mess visually, but I can see the attraction for others.
