dual boot question

[eldonhenley]

I'm about to buy one of the new macbooks. I'm likely to just get the base one (1099). Do all levels of macbooks support the DualBoot feature, or do you have to get one of the higher end ones to use windows on it?
(first time poster and mac user, thanks for the help!)

All intel macs support dual boot into windows.

thanks for the tip. But one more thing....
I'll assume I have to provide my own copy of WinXP? or does it come pre-installed?

Not normally, but MacMall among other sellers provide a bundled XP option for $150 for XP Home, $200 for XP Pro.

I will give you a copy of windows xp or vista beta if you want.
