Let me get this straight. I am thinking of getting and Intel Mac and was wondering how this 'Boot Camp' works. Does it just let you keep your existing Mac OS X system along with all your apps, music etc... and install Windows XP? Please go into detail on everything. And has anyone set boot camp up yet so you can tell me how it works. THANKS!!!!;)

Looks like yes, you keep OSX, but what boot camp does is give you instructions to partition off the drive to whatever you want to allocate to Windows.
