Am using MBA (Mid 2011 model with 4GB ram) with Parallel 7 with Windows 7 Professional.

Slightly noticeable lag. I only use Windows 7 for its Internet Explorer since Java runs better in Windows.

I believe the performance will be improved with the new MBA which comes with an option of 8GB ram.

Just want to know, your MBA disk capacity, 64GB or 128GB? How many GB will Windows & occupied MBS disk space? I am undecided to upgrade to 256GB or 8GB RAM

My compressed Win 7 professional is around 10.3GB. Mine is a 128GB model. Just a clean install with AVG.
