Hey i just came back from the apple store and got my mbp, finally! My pc laptop died on me so its a big upgrade.

My questions are, when i first boot, do i plug it in or does it come charged?

My friend bought one and after first boot he re-installed leopard and then used the computer until it died, THEN charged it. Why would he do this and is it better for the battery to do this for the first time?
 
The type of batteries used in laptops these day's don't require any special treatment on first use. They normally get to the full capacity after 2 -3 charge/discharge cycles
