You can also install mono and use monodevelop (sharpdevelop) instead
of using VS.Net.

I have a MacMini which I use for (almost) nothing else other than testing my
web applications on Mac browsers (Safari, FireFox, Opera, SeaMonkey, Camino
etc)
I also have a copy of VMWare Fusion, which I like a lot, and have installed
a copy of 32-bit Vista Business Edition & VS.NET 2008 on it. No problems
with either installation, and VS.NET certainly works, though I haven't
really done any serious development on it...
Remember, though, that if you give your virtual machine Internet access it
requires the same anti-malware protection as you would give to any physical
Windows machine. It is a common misconception that the host machine's OS
will protect any guest machines running on it - it won't...
Also, apart from a few exceptions, virtual machines are considered the same
as physical machines when it comes to software licensing...

i do asp.net development and sharepoint development on my macbook pro. I
use parallels (and multiple VM's running server 2008 64bit & 32 bit).
fusion is a tad quicker, but parallels has better mac integration, such
as being able to access the vm disks without booting the vm. i have both
(they are cheap enough).
you should have at least 4gb of memory but you might want more (imac
goes to 8gb, but don't buy memory from apple). you may also want a
separate drive (use firewire) to host the vm's.
developing in vm's is the future (almost required), and currently the
mac has much better vm support then windows.

I have a MacBook Pro and run VirtualBox as my VM platform. (It's free from
Sun.) I run Windows XP as the guest OS, and Visual Studio 2008 and .NET
Framework 3.5. The performance is naturally a little slower than running
native, but is acceptable.
