Hello, On the new Parallels 4, can I use the Windows OS and settings as my Parallels Virtual machine, so I can chose whenever I need to do BootCamp or Parallels w/o having to deal with 2 OS's and configurations? Is it a simple straightforward process, or does it require any terminal or file editing? Thank you.

Yep, you sure can. Creating a Boot Camp-based Virtual Machine takes no time at all, since you do not have to create a separate hdd image file/install Windows or any software. You just point your new VM to the Boot Camp partition and you can access it while running Mac, no problem.
