if the VM app works like ones I have used in the windows world ... with this application your windows system would exist as a bunch of files within the MAC OS file system ... if yout MAC OS ever got hosed you'd lose the Windows system too wouldnt you? Not so if you'd duel booted ... they'd be seperate file systems / partitions / whatever.
Also ... I've seen performance hits on windows VMs running on PC hardware (no chip emmulation there either). I guess i'm thinking of this from a perspective of wanting to run very resource intensive apps.
I like VMs ... they definately win out in alot of scenarios for ease of use. I just wasnt ready to call them clearly superior or more secure :-P

That's right Bill. What is a WINE-like solution Bill? Run Windows
apps without the OS? How can that be?
But no you will still need to launch windows in the Parallels
Workstation 2.1, but it is super fast as it does use the Intel
Virtualization hardware in the Core Duo to run everything right off
the Intel hardware. It's amazing. Everyone who has installed it says
it's running faster than anything they've ever had or seen on like 2
GHz iMacs and MacBook Pros.
