I went with VMWare Fusion…works great. Of course you’ll also need a licensed version of windows…I went with XP rather than Vista.

Subject: Re: iMac anyone any advice
OK the new iMac has arrived.
Before I rush to use Migration Assistant, has anyone got any advice about installing Windows for viewing PC sites?
e.g. what’s best, is it going to be BootCamp? Parallels? VMWare?
+2 for VMWare. The lovely Dr. Davis and I both run it, she uses it to run an esoteric bit of practice-management-ware, I use it to look at sites and weep. Both with XP Pro.
Also resist the urge to upgrade to IE7, as 6 fails in interesting and useful ways and still has enormous ill-gotten market share. Of course, you could always clone your virtual machine (given enough disk space) and install IE7 on a separate VM.
That interesting - We’ve already got an IE6 box here, which I’ve used to test sites, so perhaps there is not much benefit for adding essentially just IE7 to a new mac?
