Gratz on the MBA. I think I'll be waiting for the second version of that to come out before I make the plunge. I don't mind the 5lbs of my MBP for the power it gives me.

And I'll do you one better on the Parallels thing. I installed it on my second MBP and, like a big dummy, neglected to stick an anti-virus program on there. About 3 months later someone sent me a link to check and I opened it in Parallels. It downloaded a little malware app that promptly screwed up the Windows registry. So I ended up with a crashing Parallels sessions everytime I'd try to launch it. It was a MISERABLE experience to get that partition cleaned up and reinstall Windows as you aren't really doing a "clean" install with Parallels.

On my newest MBP I went with Boot Camp....AND installed a virus scanner.
