It seems VMWare goes on sale/off sale frequently.

Already have it on Blu-Ray.
By the way, a little homage to Firefly on Nathan Fillion's new show, Castle. It was great. It is literally the first 30 seconds of the show; watch it here if you're a fan.
what is the current consensus on the best product for virtualizing windows on an intel mac? I'd like to avoid boot camp and the HD death gives me a chance to start over. I do need support for a serial-USB input, but that's about it.

Parallels. Recent articles and video show it decimating Fusion in video performance.

Or that one by Sun, that's free. What's it called?
I don't have experience with Parallels, but I've used VirtualBox extensively on my HP XW6400 'MacPro'. It's incomparable with VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Pro. The latter is much faster and more stable.

The only thing that I don't like about Parallels, or at least the early versions of it, are the network adapters that it sprays through my network system preferences. VMWare doesn't do that.
