[Framers] Bootcamp vs. Parallels or VM, WAS: FrameMaker and Salesforce

[Robert Lauriston]

Using Boot Camp to install Windows on a Mac is like setting up
dual-boot Windows and Linux on a PC. There's no VM, no integration
between Windows apps and OS X. You install Windows from an
installation disc, then reboot to switch from one operating system to
the other.

I'm curious about your preference for Bootcamp (which I've never used). I would also love to hear from other Framers on this topic.
