I want to run the two. I have VMWare Fusion and Bootcamp. Which is better? I can do VMWare Fusion in full screen so it would seem it would be better.

Or is Parallels better?

Bootcamp is like a cheap man's option, no?

If you want to play games Bootcamp is the only option.

Parallels and VMWare Fusion won't offer the same graphics performance.

theres no software in the way, so you should, its just a matter of (if you use the same liscence and partition) confusing the hell outta Windows Activation. You can definatly use both on the same machine (I do with XP and Vista - XP Virtualized and Vista in BootCamp)

You can make a bootcamp partition, install an operating system, and use that operating system in both boot camp and parallels. I think that's what you're trying to get at.
