I don't have experience with Parallels but use VMFusion. Suggestion,  
when setting disk size, go larger than you think you need (40G instead  
20G). It is a major pain to resize the windows drive (the VMFusion  
part is simple and easy but getting Windows to recognize the bigger  
drive takes several steps).

Works great. I run Windows XP using it. Plan to load Ubuntu.
