Default VAG-COM on your Mac

So how are people using VAG-COM on their macs? VMware, Parallels, Bootcamp, Crossover?

I've been reading about this topic and seems that people are going for the bootcamp option.
Here's more info if you are interested

Well, I tried Crossover today and did get VAG-COM running, but waiting on my cable to see if it works once connected. If it does, it will be the cheapest Mac solution as you wouldn't need to buy windows (or Virtual MAchine software). I'll document the process if it works.

The new 11inch MB Air with CrossOver, Parallels or Fusion would work fine. Hmmm.... maybe I should go that route.

I can't think of any better reason to buy a new Air than to hack your Q.

So no luck with Crossover, there just doesn't seem to be USB support. I didn't really research it much, just gave in and installed VMware and XP. It worked perfectly and after the VM install, I was Vag'ing in under 5 mins.
