Macbook + Paralells?

Has anyone been able code via Win7 or WinXP running on Parallels? My old E series coding laptop will soon be dead, so I need to know if I have to buy a cheap mini laptop or just deploy a VM dedicated to E/F coding.

Thanks!

You may just try Boot Camp first since it's free and will behave exactly like a Windows PC.

same set up here and other than it slows down my Mac when i flip between VM and OSX it works like a charm....just make sure once you "install" VM ware that you never move the icon. i did that once and its was a nightmare to get it working again.
