I'd love to except thats a whole world of pain. As soon as bootcamp was supported by Parallel's I bought it and installed beta 1. After attempting to upgrade to beta 2 I managed to get my system into a position where I can no longer boot directly into Windows XP (without Parallels). Unfortunately I've got to boot directly into Windows XP to remove the Parallels tools before upgrading to RC1. The reason I cannot boot directly into XP is product activation is required as soon as XP is loaded BUT XP won't recognise my Mac keyboard or mouse (nor will it recognise USB ones) so I cannot activate it. Aaarrrgh. The bootcamp partition does work in Parallels (product activation is fine there - its a separate hardware profile).
I've got to re-install XP in bootcamp...not sure if its worth it as Parallels does everything I want (C# and cygwin dev) except let me play an odd game or two.
