As I now have installed Windows 2008 R2 on my Mac; I am looking to also run the same copy of Windows under OS X as a Virtual machine; other things that DreamSpark allows me to have access to, is Visual Studios. Also with my .ac.uk email address is the ability to buy student copies of MicroSoft office.

Historically I have used Virtual box for my virtualization needs; however it wont work properly under 64bit OS X.

Looking through Google; I found that Parallels fulfils my needs, as it will allow me to run the BootCamp partition as a VM;
