Crossover is slow to launch but once IE and WMP are open they run fine. It doesn't run everything but just select programs. See their site for supported programs. Just because a program isn't listed doesn't mean it wont run. WMP is not listed but runs fine.

Parallels (I'm using the less expensive version) runs real Windows so it will run everything and you can also install other OSs. Parallels is fast too but a resource hog. I have XP, Ubuntu Linux, and Debian Linux installed in Parallels.

I've never used Boot Camp but if you want to run Windows games it would be the way to go.

For my needs (testing my stuff under Windows) Crossover is all that I need. You can download it and use it for 30 days and then just buy a serial if you like it.
