that's funny. i've configured two dozen macbook pro laptops so far. 
some of the users wanted boot camp...some wanted parallels...a few 
who listened took both. there's no way to compare the two. boot camp 
(booting into windows) is without a doubt faster than parallels. 
anyone stating otherwise hasn't compared the two. it's not a good 
idea to pass along information withtout verifying the source - or 
verifying the info itself.

parallels is going to make heros of alot of sysadmins who 
provide/support it for their mac clients who need to run windows 
applications...um, unless citrix is available at the company. ;)
