But I think this is comparing apples and oranges. Parallels (Harry) requires an entire partition devoted to Windows 7 (or whatever version), whereas Fred, using Boxer, is (if I understand correctly) running DOS on a virtual machine inside OS X.

On the Mac hard drive my XY system is accessible in Finder so it can be manipulated from there. Some of the things that U2 has automated for Windows systems I have to do by hand, but it's a small price to pay for being able to use XY on my Mac.

Under Parallels, it's even better, and there's no real "price to pay."
