Plan 1 is to load Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 on my Mac via boot camp.

Plan 2 is to buy a cheap refurbished Windows laptop.

What do the nerds think and why?

Thanks
Delta buys you Windows 7 if you have a mac. I ran boot camp and installed windows on my laptop. I had some issues at first (the disc wouldn't partition), but the guys at the mac store were awesome and helped me out.

I tend to do my coursework on the road (while commuting, layovers, etc.) so carrying around 2 laptops didn't appeal to me.
