Best software for running Windows?

[Chipskip]

I am planning on buying a MacBook in the next week or two. I need a little help in planning my smooth transition.

What is the best way to run WinXP on a MB? I would prefer to just open a window and not have to reboot into it.

Are there any limitations to what you run on WinXP on a MB?

Two main things I want to run, first is Slysoft's CloneDVD & AnyDVD and some tide/chart plotting software. Both are Windows only (I blow my nose at them).

Which do you like better? Does Boot Camp require a "reboot" to access it?
