    can you run both Vista and OSX on the same computer or does it have to be windows XP and OSx?

    i.e. if i buy a MBP, can i get Vista? Office 2007?

    It is possible, since MS itself demoed Vista on a MBP some time ago. But I guess Bootcamp doesn't officially support it yet. So, most probably Vista will be supported in a forthcoming Bootcamp release, either an update or when it comes out of beta. You'd better wait till Vista is available for end-users and see how good is the support then.
