I think if I needed both systems in one, thats how Id do it. Nothing against Parallels, but its still extra cash to do something I could do for the cost of a single cable (Prob already have the cable)
When I switched to my iMac in 2009, I bought a copy of windows 7, just to install via bootcamp - It worked flawlessly, but I dont think I ever used it more than once or twice to set it up...
So I think I'll stick to them as two seperate computers going forwards - I like both the OS of mac, but enjoy the games side of windows...

Actually my friend, I have a better way....!!
I have a monitor with a built-in KVM too (Dell Ultrawide 49" Something something..). The KVM thing worked but I wanted something more elegant. So what I did was connect my PC via Ethernet, and connect to it via Microsoft Remote Desktop. It sounds crazy but its excellent. Windows will run as a "Window" in any size, and it will run full screen. It saves you a mess of cables too.
The only drawback is that it is not great for gaming. You can actually game on it, but its not as good as having the PC connected to the monitor directly. But for everything else, it's perfect.
