Parallels Desktop 3.0 is one of the most highly demanded virtualization software for Mac that allows you to run Linux and Windows side by side on a Mac. What's more? You can drag and drop files between the two different desktops. Cross-firing between Windows and Mac, as you can use Parallels to open Windows files using a Mac app, and a Mac file using Windows.

Quote: Parallels Desktop for Mac Official Website
Run Windows, Linux, and more side-by-side with Mac OS X on any Intel-powered Mac, without rebooting. With Parallels' award-winning virtualization technology, you can run Mac OS X and Windows at the same time. You can even drag-and-drop files between desktops!

From personal experience, Parallels is quite good.. I love how you can use bootcamp (in leopard) to have windows xp running natively. Instead of in "parallel"
