I have my office machine (a newish MacBook Pro) set up with Parallels since I have to use Windows software to access my email, our server, etc. It all works just fine. You can have Windows full screen, or Minimize, work on OS 10, then click back to Windows when needed. The virtual ethernet port on the virtual machine is clever enough that it shares the pipe with the Mac software, so that email updates are happening in Windows Outlook even while I am using Safari on the Mac.. Slicker than goose droppings on a wet sidewalk!
