Zune works now on Parallels virtualization software for Mac! You have now 3 options on a Mac: BootCamp, VMware Fusion and Parallels. I hope native support is near...
Patrick Stuart tried installing the Zune software on Windows running on Mac OS X using Parallels. Sometime ago you couldn't do that on Parallels. The software would install but the Zune player wouldn't connect. But the latest beta can do this fine! Read more in Patrick Stuart's article . Also check the progress for Zune on Mac and Linux.

I'm looking into getting a MacBook and just got a Zune for my birthday. I realized this whole Parallels thing might be the exception, and thank god it's worked for some people!
Anyway, the main question is, will all of my music files have to be saved on the Windows XP side of things? Will I be able to access these files within OS X? Basically, If I decide to get a MacBook (instead of a PC) and use this Parallels thing just for my new Zune, I want to make sure it's worth it. If I can help it, I don't want to keep hopping back and forth from XP to OS X just for music.
