 Making the switch to new iMac but want to keep my Quicken for Windows.
What are the pros and cons of using Bootcamp vs Parallels to run
Quicken for Windows on the iMac. Thanks.

No experience with Parallels. I'm using VMWare Fusion and it's great. I can
log into Bootcamp if I want to, or use VMWare to connect to that same
Bootcamp partition from OS X. So you get the best of both worlds.

Thanks for the response. Did you install the XP partition using
Bootcamp first and then install VMWare. Or vice versa?

Yes, I installed XP through Bootcamp first. When I installed VMWare, it
automatically detected the Bootcamp partition.
