You're speaking of "Boot Camp", right? Also, in case you weren't aware, there are very strong rumors that VMware is making an OS X version of their software, so you won't even have to reboot to start a windows session.

Yup, Bootcamp is Apple's software that will allow Apple's OS X to boot in either Windows or in Apple's operating system (soon to be Leopard). Parallels for OS X will cost $49, plus the cost of Windows itself. Unlike Boot Camp, Parallels creates a "virtual machine" that simulates a Windows computer inside the Mac OS allowing you to run Windows programs side by side with Mac programs, rather than booting in one or the other operation system. Regrettably, at this point I'm a total noob when it comes to actually running a Mac or knowing exactly where there are good sources of info with respect to actually using them.
