    awesome sauce. thanks much for that list. When I get some time this weekend I'm going to be knee deep in new software from all these lists . Thank goodness it's so easy to remove software from the mac.



    I've been debating if I should go the Parallels route or boot camp. I think I can only do one of them since I just have one XP disk and you would need one for each.



    I have a couple games that I would like to play that are PC only as well, so I think Boot Camp may be a better choice since Parallels isn't going to have the muscle do make Half Life 2 dance.

    Until GPUs support virtualisation, games definitely => Boot Camp.

    Why would you need one for each? Use the same one.

    I think there are "activation" issues.

    I don't think so. As long as you use the serial number provided with the genuine copy of the OS, you can install it on more than one PC. I *think* so.
