I have Microsoft Office installed in my Mac OS already.
If I install Windows XP on bootcamp, would I have to theoritically purchase another copy of Microsoft Office for Windows compatibility in order for me to be able to use Microsoft Office while in Windows boot up.
Same with Parallels and other virtual OS's, will I have to purchase 2 copies of Windows XP for me to be able to run bootcamp AND parallels/virtual os.

You need Windows Office to run Office in Windows but can use it under both Bootcamp or Parallels/Fusion.
Mac Office runs on OSX. -
You'll need Office for Windows if you want to run Office in Windows, sadly. You can run Parallels/Fusion and Boot Camp off of one partition, which means you'll only need one copy of XP/Vista to be able to use both...but I personally have been having issues with this (when I launch XP with Fusion, it wants me to re-activate Windows). So...there seem to be issues with that...
