Hi Adrian, I agree with using a virtual machine. I've been using Parallels from version 3, 4 & now 5. I have had WindowsXP Pro, Windows Vista Ultimate (what a CPU user was Vista), & now Windows 7 Ultimate installed in Parallels 5.
My Windows 7 virtual machine is 11.02GB. The "Expanding Disk" recommended install in Parallels is great, as it just expands as Windows requires more space. If you really have to use Windows on a Mac, I highly recommend Parallels 5.
