Well, I took the plunge last night and installed Windows XP on my Macbook Pro. Everything worked well (needed to follow these additional instructions), but I have now Windows up and running.

To be honest, it feels really weird to see XP running on it. Personally, I’d rather use Windows under a VM on the mac (right now there’s only "Q", really would like a new version of Virtual PC), as dual booting is really distruptive to my work flow.

Anyways - I’m not sure yet if I’m going to keep it on there, just wanted to see if/how it was done.
