Advantage of Boot Camp when using Fusion?

If I'm not gaming, why would I set up a boot camp partition, and then access it using Fusion?

I'm getting ready of 3.0, and Win 7, and am thinking of reconfiguring my current set up. I set up a Win 7 (RTM) Boot Camp Partition because I use Premiere Pro under windows, and I wanted to maximize the cpu, etc. when using that. The video drivers were causing problems in Boot Camp with Premiere (odd colors), but they worked fine. Now that Win 7 is out, and 3.0 is tomorrow, I'm wondering if I need to do a new VM with my Win 7 and delete the boot camp partition completely.

Any thoughts?

If you already had a Boot Camp partition set up and didn't want to recreate a fresh one in Fusion. See also . Personally, I'd skip Boot Camp unless I knew I needed it for something.

In VMware Fusion 3 does running off a boot camp install of Win7 ...

1) make it impossible to use unity?

2) disable aero not only in the virtual machine but even when running directly off the boot camp partition as with VMware Fusion 2?

Thanks...
