This is even more interesting:

"Parallels released their Windows virtualization solution for the Intel Mac
today. The product is called Parallels Workstation 2.1 Beta and a free fully
functional copy is available for download now.

Unlike Apple's Boot Camp solution which was released yesterday, Parallels
solution allows you to run Windows XP (and other Intel-based operating
systems) from within Mac OS X. Rebooting or Dual Booting is not required.
This allows users to maintain their daily environment while also being able
to use any desired Windows applications. It is only available for the Intel
Macs and should provide near-native performance.

Parallels Workstation 2.1 Beta for Mac OS X is NOT simply a "dual-boot"
solution; rather, it empowers users the ability to use Windows, Linux and
any other operating system at the same time as Mac OS X, enabling users to
enjoy the comfort of their Mac OS X desktop while still being able to use
critical applications from other OSes.

Parallels appears to be taking advantage of the Intel Virtualization
Technology which was included in the Intel Yonah processors that are now
shipping in the Intel Macs.

While in free Beta testing at the moment, the final software package for
Linux and Windows is priced from the company at $49.99."
