Parallels or Fusion advice

I'm getting ready to set up a new Mac and I need Windows on it, going with Vista probably but could be XP too. I want to run the occasional game so I would want Bootcamp.

But really gaming is not going to be very often but pretty much every day I'll run Office 2007 (Outlook mostly) and IE, so I don't want to reboot all the time.

So as far as I know both Parallels and Fusion will run a Windows installed with Bootcamp in virtualization, right? Does anyone have good/bad experience doing that with either? I've not done that personally so I wanted to check. I guess I could have Windows in both Bootcamp as well as in virtualization but that seems a waste of disk space.

I started out running Parallels then switched to Fusion when it came out, so I have licenses for both and no particular ties to either.

And I know there were problems with Vista in the beginning in terms of supporting games, but how is it lately?
