Rei,

I use Parallels on an old MacBook Pro for a few Windows applications  
that I use infrequently (QuickBook,...). If your PC Windows  
applications don't need a ton of CPU cycles and/or memory and they are  
infrequently used, just run Prallels. I don't like to repartition the  
disk and rebooting.

Regards,
Spencer
