OK, I know I promised a review of Boot Camp today but I haven't quite finished. Why?

Well, because I've been stuck trying Parallels, a new virtualization product for the Mac that has previously been available in Linux and Windows versions.

It's not the first virtualization software I've tried on the Mac - I've also tried Q and OpenOS X.

I'll admit I've had little success in any of them, even the new Parallels appears to have issues with my Windows XP CD, although I've had limited success running Gentoo Linux and even Belinix.
