Peter, Just to clarify, you CAN'T buy a Mac with Windows XP. At least, not directly configured that way from Apple. A third-party store might be selling one with some virtualization software to go along with XP. Although, with Boot Camp, I suppose there COULD be a store selling one with Windows pre-installed and NO virtualization software included. Still, Apple doesn't promote this as something available at their stores or via the Web, AFAIK.
