Hi All I have a Macbook pro with bootcamp installed, along with windows 7, MS office and several other windows programs. I would like to purchase and install Parallels. I would like not to have to reboot If I need something in the windows side of bootcamp but have the option to run bootcamp if I need extra processing power. How does Parallel work with the bootcamp/windows installed software??? Once Parallels is running, will it automatically access the installed software inside the windows side of bootcamp, without additional licenses and installs, don't want to purchase and install software twice. or how do I set it up so I access it? also should I upgrade to Lion first? newbie to parallel/MAC .. so apologize if this is obvious thanks for the help!
