I think you have that wrong.
"The coolest thing about the assistant is that it *does a
non-destructive repartitioning of your boot drive*. In other words, you
don't need unpartitioned space to install Boot Camp, just free space
within your Mac's existing boot partition. Choose your partition size
within Boot Camp Assistant and go."
Which, to me, means it takes free space from your HD, and allocates that
for a new parition. It's not a "virtual" partition like, say, Virtual PC
did (does, or whatever), which, if I remember correctly, was a huge file
that would exist on your Mac HD.

Apparently, a "virtual" partition is created and that is where XP
lives. My only question is if this "firmware update" that allows
Window to run on the Intel Macs poses potential virus/worm etc. issues
that up until now we have been immune from. (yes..yes...I know. It is
partially that there aren't as many people trying to write nasty
little pieces of code for the Mac.) But Open Firmware was more secure
than the Microsoft BIOS. So I am really curious as to how exactly the
firmware update changes EFI in it's current state.
