Glad you took the leap.  You will enjoy Ubuntu and, there may come a time
when Linux becomes your OS of primary use.

I just spent the last several days (during spare moments) installing WinXP
Home to our MacBook.  I used the Apple supplied Boot Camp to do the install
and set up the dual boot capability.  Fairly straight forward procedure but
tedious.  We wound up purchasing a full install copy of XP Home (generic
OEM) from a web supplier rather than try to use one of several work arounds
to install an upgrade copy.  We have two unused upgrade copies of XP - one
Home, one Pro.

We needed to be able to run Windows while away from the main ministry
location primarily for those several programs that have no OS X equivalent.
 Once we have all we need for the Mac, I'll blow away the WinXP partition
and revert the entire hard drive back to OS X usage.

We still have three machines running WinXP, two desktops and one laptop.

Regards.
