With or without bootcamp partition??

[MarlboroLite]

I've been searching around but I haven't been able to find a good answer on this: I
'm going to install Windows through Fusion, but I don't know if I should install it first on bootcamp and then use the partition through Fusion or not bother with making a bootcamp partition at all. Are there any disadvantages to not making a bootcamp partition?

I have 4 gigs of RAM, should I dedicate 2 gigs to windows? I won't be using it for any hardcore pro applications, mostly Office 2007, explorer, and outlook.

Thanks

If you're not going to be using intensive apps, there is no disadvantage

Thanks for the quick reply....I will be installing Vista (which is the version I was able to get for cheap)...for those apps, is 1 gig enough or should I give it 2? 15 GB HD sounds good too?
