One thing that has impressed me about the new intel platform is the versatility of Operating Systems that can be run on it. Not just with Boot Camp, but also the third party application called Parallels Desktop. You can run any x86 operating system inside a window on your Mac or fullscreen, even run more than one OS at once. I saw one at the store that was running Ubuntu Linux inside a window on the desktop. You can do the same with Win XP if you have a license for it (Ubuntu is free). " more
