jocampo,
using Boot Camp is basically using the Mac (mini in your case) as a full fledged Windows machine-full speed, no compromises at all, and no compatibilities. The disadvantage of course, is you have to re-boot into it to switch OSes, unlike virtualization. Parallels was doing pretty well speedwise lately, though, so not sure what real-world advantages people are getting either way.
A couple of my co-workers use MacbookPros and run Windows on Boot Camp full time-they aren't that interested in OS X, but love the MBP hardware.
(and to bring things back to Lion-apparently for the first time you can legally run multiple copies of OSX on one machine-nice for those interested in virtualization)
