What bothers me most about "Boot Camp" is that it further discourages the development of platform independent applications. Why try to make an app work on both Win and OS X when you can just run both Oses on one computer? It's just more marketing BS from Apple, the company happy to wrap up a computer in a Malibu Barbie Dreamhouse and sell it to you for double it's value. And since you have so much money burning through your pocket, go ahead and shell out the cash for Win XP _Retail_.
