I don't think Parallels will run on a pre-intel Mac, but if anyone is using a newer Mac (Macbook), the newer VMware Fusion is cheaper than Parallels and MUCH easier to install and use -- Parallels drove me crazy. (Yeah, you still have to buy Windows -- occasionally a necessary "evil" for some proprietary business
software.) Bootcamp requires you to close down your Mac OS, but Fusion lets you run both at the same time. You can even drag stuff from Mac to Windows and vice versa -- excellent. (I don't think Bootcamp will run on the older Macs either, will it?)
