    BTW BootCamp will take care of any partitioning needs and is self explanatory with respect to setup.

    Parallels does not need any partitioning and again has a friendly and fast setup that is easy to perform without additional software or instructions (Excepy of course a copy of the OS you want to install like Win XP)
