I use Parallels but as said it costs, think it's around the £70 mark, bootcamp is free with OSX.

I can get it for £40ish as i am a student

I don't mind having to reboot! What would be the best/cheap way?

Yes, but i can get a Window 7 for £5 and a Window 8 £10 so thats not a problem! anyone else do it?
