I know Parallels allows for shared folders between OS's, and that you can run your BootCamp installation of Windows on Parallels, so what I'm curious about is if and how you can share files if you install onto BootCamp and then run Parallels on your BootCamp installation?

(All my questions are basically revolving around the fact that I'm not sure if I want to just go BootCamp with Vista, or if I need to compromise and go BootCamp with XP and be able to run it well in Parallels.)

Because Parallels treats your BootCamp installation as another virtual machine, you can share in the same way on your 'bootcamp virtual' as you can within a 'standard parallels virtual' machine..
