No I installed Vmware myself, and I'm sticking with XP so can't comment on 7 I'm afraid.
Installing it is real easy, they walk you thru it like all other software.
Parallels is incredibly clunky compared to VMware, the difference when I switched was massive - please do yourself a favour and avoid Parallels.. Vmware should be fine with 7 as far as I know.
As mentioned in the thread Bootcamp does the job alright too, but rebooting to switch OS's always seemed like a huge pain in the ass to me.
With VMware I can run both (or more should I want to) OS's at the same time, and with full dual monitor support. One monitor for MAC, the other for windows. Seamless switching, you can even copy files from OS to OS
I'm going away for the weekend shortly but if you want to know anything else hit me on ICQ after monday... 156 55034
