Won't answer the 1st, its blasphemy to install OSX on a PC.

2nd: It like comparing Lemons (like M$ it sucks) to Apple. You should compare XPS 1530 to a Macbook Pro, those are spec to spec equals in comparison, though price of course differs alot.

But if you compare XPS 1530 with a macbook... depends what you want to do really, if you want a desktop replacement/play some games/heavy multimedia ... XPS or Macbook Pro would be a better choice. For general use macbook win hands down, with exception to heavy graphics/video works due to its limited built in graphics card.

3rd: Yes bootcamp is a built in Mac application in OSX Leopard for dual booting with windows.
