MacBooks just showed up on Apple's online store in the refurbished section. About $1350 for the cheap one, the warranty, and a RAM upgrade from Newegg. So tempting...

EDIT: Mac owners, how necessary is the AppleCare warranty?

When I first heard about bootcamp, I thought it would be awesome. But now what it is out, and I have a MacBook pro, I found I didn't really care. Why would I want to boot windows on my macbook pro?
What I found infinitely more helpful is the parallels virtual machine software. Now I can run XP inside of OSX, and it runs ridiculously fast. I dunno how they do it (leprachauns perhaps?) but it goes fast.

Sounds like Xen. I'd probably try both that and BootCamp. But in any case, didn't I answer your "hy do you want a mac when everything else you work with is windows" question?
