Anyone realize success using Apple Mac OS 10.6 and Parallels 5 for a Visual Studio Dev machine?

Greetings my wonderful StackOverflow family :)
I grew up using Windows and switched to OSX as a Computer Science major in College. I've recently started my first real software developer job, and have a ThinkPad and Windows XP for developing ASP.NET / MS SQL applications (Visual Studio 2008).
Question:
Basically, I am wondering if any developers out there have had real success creating ASP.NET applications on a Mac using a VM? I've been fighting with Parallels 5 all week and finally have Windows 7 and VS 2008 running but my hot-keys are all screwed up. Is it worth the work to keep beating this thing into submission? Should I give up? Should I give Mono a try instead?
Thanks Folks, I can't wait to see what you all think!
