ACURAICE of Course I'm on Drugs! And I don't know about you but, VMware and Parallels both blow. Yes, they appear to be emulating windows flawlessly on the surface, but under the hood, they are slow,bulky pieces of software. They also only support older pixel shader and direct X 9.0 technology, what that means is if you even attempt to run a game that from 2001 or newer, if you get past the loading screen, it will most surely be choppy and display an errors and most definitely crash ! If your a hardcore gamer like me, you can easily download any copy of of a windows installation cd and be up and running boot camp in about 25 mins! Boot camp is flawless, since your running windows natively, not some cheesy,RAM hungry emulator! Trust me, Boot camp rocks, and performs dramatically better. And as for the side by side thing, what could you possibly be doing that you need to run both operating systems side by side for???? Do you work at a hospital? All you have to do with boot camp is simply drag and drop any file on your bootcamp partition icon, and viola, it appears on your windows desktop the next time you run it! simple as pie...for us more advanced people!
