If you don't foresee a need to boot the machine into Windows,
Parallels or VMware Fusion standalone is the way to go. I'm planning
on getting a MacBook early next year and I doubt I'll even bother
with Bootcamp. It's much easier to maintain in a VM in my opinion.
How strict is Microsoft about the OEM activation? Could you legally
move that copy, which I assume you bought with a piece of cheap
hardware, to Mac in the first place? I did reactivation with an OEM
copy of XP Home a few years ago and it went pretty smoothly, but I
was just moving a hard disk into a new machine.
Definitely check out Q.app (http://www.kju-app.org/kju/). It's
basically qemu in a nice OS X format. There's no kernel accelerator
for XNU yet, so it's a bit slow, but the guy is supposedly working on
it. qemu is really cool too, and it's great for a free VM to test
Linux stuff.

So you think I would be safer here with the no Boot Camp all Parallels
approach? I'm guessing that's right, the more I contemplate what could
go wrong. If I were made of money, I would have bought a non-OEM copy
of Windows, but I had like 140 reasons not to do that.
