I'm definately going to be running Windows 7 in bootcamp, so I'm looking for a virtulisation program which will be able to use the Bootcamp partion. While VMware and Parrallels bot claim to do so, which offers a better experience.

I prefer VMWare, the yeti prefers Parallels - although is thinking of giving VMWare a try.

As I'm going to sharing a lot of files with Office Users, Should I get Office for Mac or just run my current Office 2007 in virtulisation?

How complex are the documents going to be? For simple Word & Excel (don't use Powerpoint if I can possibly help it) then iWork is fine. Or OpenOffice. Anything complex, I'd stick with your current Office 2k7 in a vm.
