Sometimes when I'm at college, I need Windows to run an application. I have this thing about hating to use public computers (you don't know who's used them, what sites they've looked at, or more importantly, what bodily fluids have come in contact with the keyboard as a result of looking at the aforementioned site).
Should I risk completely screwing up my MacBook Pro* and install BootCamp and Windows Vista or just purchase a cheap, used PC~ with Windows XP installed?

Mac and BootCamp vs Used PC

Not exactly the poll turnout that I had hoped for. But oh well. In the end, I purchased the older PC with Windows. Reason being, I was too afraid that something would go wrong with my installing Boot Camp on the MBP. And plus, I just didn't want to corrupt such a beautiful machine with a Microsoft product.
