Parallels just released the Beta2 for their Workstation product. A virtualization software that would allow you to run a OS in a virtual box in parallel with your running OS. As such it went out public and has competitive advantage over both VMWare and Microsoft that both produce similar offerings but none for the Intel Macs. Workstation is not a direct competitor to Boot Camp. Sometimes running a virtual OS works just fine, but sometimes you need to squeeze the most of your hardware so I belive Boot Camp might still be an excellent solution. On a related note I’ve been running a developer build of colinux as a windows service and I must confess it’s muck faster than the last official release. Plus I’ve been on the colinux irc channel, and they are working on stuff to improve performance even more. What I like about colinux is that a part from running from an image, it can also run from a working linux partition.
