Trying to dual-screen
I am getting a brand new 20 inch iMac (the latest model) and need to use it primarily for presentation software that is Windows XP/Vista only. So I was wondering: what would be my best bet if I needed Mac OS X, XP, and Vista all on the same computer and have both the Windows OSes able to run in dual screen mode (not mirroring, but "extend my screen onto this display" mode). Boot Camp, Parallels, or Fusion?

Re: Trying to dual-screen
Boot Camp is always better.
/anti-VM bigot.
(seriously though, if switching speed between OS X and Windows is an issue and you don't need to run Direct3D applications, Fusion - specifically the Unity feature - is probably what you really are after. Just set up your multiple display configuration in OS X and go to town.)
