    Why would you need Leopard if you have Lion?

    Worked fine for me, but I didn't use Bootcamp. I simply installed Lion on another partition. Used the option key at boot to choose the OS I wanted.

    I already deleted Snow Leopard as Lion has proven not to be buggy for me, which was my main reason for dual booting both in the first place. IMO, using a VM is just not a good enough test.

    Just remember to backup before doing anything.

    PhotoImpact runs fine in a Virtual Machine... might be much better for 1 Windows program than ha ing to run a whole different bootable OS.

    Photo Impact Didn't work out with Wineskin it was so buggy.
    Tried Parallel and VM but I could not save my work on my Macintosh hard drive- ony could save on the virtual drive.

    Well boot camp came officially with my MAC and it is free so....

    Wish I could integrate Photo Impact with my Mac OS though.

    Pretty much all of Corel software runs horrid with Wine

    Parallels and VMWare might default to saving on the local drive, but you can always copy stuff over to OSX. You can also set up shared folders so that it auto links Documents and such and really does save directly on the OSX part. If you were running it by using a Bootcamped install, then its much more limited in that regard to a full real virtual machine.
