I just ran into somebody that was doing just that. Their company chose high end MACS over high end Dells for large assembly work. I need to run down the details of how they did it. Apparently you still have to load in XP and it runs in it's own space.

Why? Do you have extra cash to use up?

I hear Parallels is the better way to go, so that the OS can be switched "on-the-fly".
