I don't know why they bother, since you'll be able to install Windows Vista on a mac anyways...

Vista....? i don't think so.... Intel's logic board for Mac supports EFI, while Microsoft recently announced that Vista will not support it.... they're sticking back to BIOS.....

we have someone in the myMUG who demonstrated dual-boot on his Acer Celeron 1.3.

So... basically, he's running Mac OS X on a PC ... AND running Windows XP on a different partition.

Yeah, doing the same.. it is quite easy actually, the setup process is even easier than setting up XP from scratch.
