I agree that running XP on parallels is pretty damn cool BUT... Visual Studio 2005 runs a LOT better on my IBM Thinkpad laptop which is running a much older Intel chipset. If you want to do hardcore Visual Studio development do it outside of Parallels. I got a macbook pro a month ago along with a Parallels.

I can't be bothered about dual-booting my laptop, as I think it's counter-productive. I've ordered some additional RAM to be able to run Windows XP comfortably within Mac OS X. I used to like Eclipse until I realised it was awfully bloated. Out of all the IDEs currently available I prefer Visual Studio .NET 2005 although I remain a fervent supporter of NetBeans. To be honest, Microsoft's new approach to development technologies and tools is very good, and I would not be surprised if they are win the development tool war.
