Is bootcamp a bootloader or virtualization software?

@hyltom: sorry I don't know
@-Adrian: it's a bootloader... the best virtualization software at this moment is parallels:

bootloader, you get the choice of which OS to load upon power-up. Apparently you can do other systems than windows as well…

another, and yet more promising as for performances, virtualization software for mac (Vmware, still in beta though):
