Total switch to Parallels
I deleted my Boot Camp partition on my MacBook Pro today. Once I started using Parallels
for virtualization, there was no point. Now when I need to use Windows
I don't have to reboot, I can share files, and I don't have to occupy
some part of the hard disk with a partition that's partially unused.
Sure, Parallels wasn't free, but it's a much nicer arrangement. Performance is top notch, and indistinguishable from the partitioned instance.
Actually, one of the neatest things is just that I can have a totally ready to go install of Windows XP that I can deploy anytime, make copies of, etc. That's pretty cool.
