Boot Camp Question

    I plan on installing windows via boot camp sometime soon but my question is this. If I then install Parallels, VMWare or Virtualbox, will they recognise the partition I've already created with boot camp?

    Also, does anyone know when boot camp will officially support windows 7?

    Yes - Parrels and VMWare will anyway. I've no experience with VirtualBox.

    Apple said before the end of the year. But that is starting to look unlikely.

    Another thing, am I right in saying that people have had issues with running Microsoft Office where it asks you for a new serial number to run natively and virtually?

    I didn't experience the reactivation issue with Office but I did with Windows XP.

    virtual box won't recognize bootcamp. there does seem to be a workaround on the net but not for the novice user! I haven't tried it either.

    I used a hack I found on the internet to get around the activation.
