It depends on what you're trying to do, and the latest versions of 
Parallels and Fusion are much better virtualisation than the early ones.

The bonus with virtualisation and emulation is that you can easily 
access both Windows and Mac apps at the same time without rebooting, as 
well as copy-paste information between the two. Both current 
virtualisation solutions on Intel Macs even let you run Windows apps so 
that they look like normal Mac apps (rather than running inside a 
virtualisaed Windows PC).

As has been said, an ARM version of Windows does exist, so running that 
may be a future possibility via either virtualisation and / or Boot 
Camp-style, although not from Apple themselves.
