At work they replaced all of our Dell laptops with MacBook Pro's.
They're dual boot, can run Mac OSX or Win XP, or as others have said, you can run Mac OSX and have Win XP inside a VM window.
As a piece of hardware, I absolutely LOVE the macbook pro. The huge touch pad, two finger right click, two finger scrolling, all great. Took some getting used to not having home/end keys etc, but there are other shortcuts.
I have to admit not taking the time to learn MacOSX, so I pretty much use Win XP all the time. There are some issues running Win XP on a Mac machine, even though they're supposed to be compatible. Speaking with our desktop support person (after my HD died), a LOT of people at work have had issues with the macbook pro's running WinXP.
I'm currently on a loaner Dell laptop. It's big, clunky, boxy, heavy, battery life is less, etc.
As a piece of hardware, the macbook pro is brilliant.
