I just got a new Macbook Pro and went with Windows XP on VmWare. My favorite side is still the Mac but I need Windows for MLS and some other apps.

I have been running xp pro and Windows 7 beta with no issues in Parallels. I underdstand Fusion has an update with a cost. Not sure if I am going to pay it. Though Parallels seems to be slowing down quite a bit these days. I have Windows 7 on order through a friend with a discount.

I've been running Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro, starting with the beta version last summer. A snap to install on Parallels. No issues at all.

I didn't want to install an old OS (XP) on the new Mac Book. Parallels has issued a new build (at no charge to registered users) that adds full Win 7 support.
