Actually, I have to take exception to your statement that xp can't even see the mac partitions, and therefore viruses running on xp can't affect the osx partitions. It's easy enough to trash the master boot record, partition tables, and boot sectors of hds regardless of os installed. This is exactly what some of the early dos viruses did. Keeping things separate with extra partitions generally is protection against this sort of thing, but by no means a guarantee.
