1. One drawback with Parallels software right now
It doesn't do 3D hardware acceleration. Which means very few games are going to run. Basically, it will run the same subset of software that Virtual PC will run on a G4, although faster.

OTOH, I'm have XP on my MacBook Pro using Apple's Boot Camp, and everything runs -- even programs that require 3D graphics acceleration. I do have to reboot into XP to use it, however.
