[FCP-L] OT: Windows Virtualisation and FCP

HI.

Having to contemplate running a virtual Windows system on my Mac Pro FCP edit system to allow me to work with a fabulous Microsoft Small Business Server... Wondering if this is something anyone is doing
OK and if they had good/bad experiences with either Parallels or VMware Fusion? Parallels seems to be getting a bad rap from some, so:

Fusion 3 with Windows 7 Ultimate seems like the most likely candidate.

Hoping I won't have much performace hit if it's open while I'm editing. And whether it makes sense to go to Snow Leopard before installing any virtulisation? No specialist I/O yet, but one may be coming soon.

Mac Pro Dual Quad Core 2.26Gz
12Gb RAM
FCP 6.05

Thanks for any pointers.
