Apple users ... do you dual boot

I just bought a used Macbook and love it but I am not ready to switch over completely from windows just yet. I have a 60GB HD and was considering using BOOTCAMP to set up a Windows XP partition. I was wondering:

Was it difficult?

Would you do it again if you had the chance?

How well does XP run on your machine?


Thanks ...

 
Thanks for the reply. Can you provide a link to a specific site which details how to do this?
 
Bootcamp was pretty easy to install. Works fine for playing games, but since I'm so busy, I tend to stay in OSX 99% of the time now. I have Parallels and while it's ok for minor things, I wouldn't use it full time.
 
I only multi-boot for testing, but not on my Macs. I was going to dualboot OS X and OpenBSD, but I never got around to it.
 
For what its worth I was in the same boat I got a new MBP free from a client, I installed boot camp and parallels (which in my case uses the bootcamp partition) it took me about 7 days to switch over. Meaning I don't use windows anymore on it but it may be nice to have some day. If it didn't have 120G drive I would remove it altogether, and just remote into my PC which just gathers dust now.
