I have a buddy that wants to purchase a  new iMac (desktop).   The 
bundle he's looking at offers either Parallels or Boot Camp and a 
version of Windows (Vista or XP).  Can't grub replace Boot Camp?  
However I'd guess that Windows as a Parallel's vm would be stuck in that 
form (you could not install it as a stand alone partition), true or 
not?  Although a pre-installed partition probably wouldn't convert to a 
vm either.  I suggested that he choose XP over Vista. 

Any advice as to his best choices (Boot Camp vs Parallels) (XP vs Vista)?

Any tricks needed to create a linux partition on an iMac?  How does 
Parallels compare to VMWare?  Where are the best deals for buying a Mac?

TIA
-Jamie
