I think this is a new deal because I have been checking this site each day for the last few days for a friend and this is the first I have seen it at MacMall. Now they will install XP or Vista for free with Parallels or give you the software so you can do it on bootcamp. Plus many other goodies. Not bad IMO.

MacMall.com

Want the iPod Touch? It is still cheaper I think with this package and adding the refurb(which is new anyways) iPod touch for $199.
