Buy Parallels, get a $25 iTunes card

If you've been interested in trying some virtualization software (they're certainly a plucky group of devs) and haven't yet been enticed to do so, maybe some free iTunes money will do the trick. The offer expires in about a week and a half, so you've got a little time to think it over. $25 in iTunes goes a long way these days -- that's eight HD shows of The Office, or 25 Koi Ponds!
Thanks Phill

Darn it.. You beat me to it.
If someone's "been interested in trying some virtualization software" they should try VirtualBox (virtualbox.org).
Frankly, it's fantastic for those with light virtualization needs.

Or wait a month or so and not have to pay for the 4.0 upgrade.

They'll unlikely release 4.0 in a month, it is not good for them to release right after Fusion.

For those of us still on tiger, are there any dual boot options for running windows without virtualization?

As mentioned above, VirtualBox is amazingly feature-rich, robust, stable, and, well, it just works very well for me. If you are developing enterprise-wide virtualization solutions, you'll probably want to look elsewhere, but if you are a hobbyist or just need solid acces to other OS's, then VirtualBox is really worth a look. And its free price can't be beat.
