One of the things I like about the current beta of VMWare Fusion is that while it runs Windows in a virtual machine, it can set up the VM to use the Windows installed on your Boot Camp partition, meaning you get some added benefits like Aero Glass (on Vista) and slightly faster performance, since there is less emulation involved. Can the latest version of Parallels also use a Boot Camp partition, or is this a planned feature in an upcoming release?
Can I use a Boot Camp partition with Parallels?

Well, I just noticed I was a flame bait... Not EVERYONE loves it, but a lot of us do. 
Anyways... Install BootCamp per Apple's instructions (V. 1.2 is not supported, but I find that it works just fine) Then, install Parallels, and choose advanced for your set-up then BootCamp partition for your HD. Install Parallels tools upon boot (it does this automatically) and you should be good to go. Let us know if you have problems.
