I did just recently spend a couple of hours "slipstreaming" SP2 into the WinXP that came with my Virtual PC so I could burn it onto a bootable CD and install it on my new MacBook using Boot Camp -- it was kind of fun. Then I remembered that I don't have any reason to run XP on my new Mac!
To be honest I would have purchased a macbook if I could have afforded it. However the price and performance of the one I just purchased was too good to pass up. My current one died and that's the only reason I had to get one now. First year FO pay is a pain.
