Bootcamp is not virtual. It's the real thing.
How about that?

Or, are there any? I am right now in the middle of a documentary film project and don't have much funding or equipment. At the top of my list is my first laptop (I've decided to go with a laptop since I'll be in grad school this fall). I worry that Vista will make my progress difficult and I always wanted to switch to mac and now feel is a good opportunity, but I have one main concern.
I would have to purchase a higher end macbook or lower end macbook pro due to my limited budget (has anyone had luck with refurbs?), and may use a NLE like Vegas or Liquid since they are better than some and cheaper than others (I can't afford FCP right now). These programs take up more resources than any other I use and thus, I worry that virtualization may eat up resources and thus make deter my productivity.
So, in short, my question is, how does virtualization affect resources? If I start the system with one OS and not two, would there be no difference than if I ran with a PC?
Long explanation, but it helps me think.
