into Parallels or VirtualBox. W2K iso files can be downloaded from many
places, but you can get a legal copy for $15 from Ebay. W2K needs no
activation, so it is well suited for virtualization use. You can try it
on different virtualization platforms and have multiple instances
tailored to different needs without activation hassles.

Thanks to everyone for the great advice. I am seriously considering
spending around $600 on Lenovo with Win 7 Pro (64 bit) and XP Mode
already installed (available through their web site). But the
temptation of using this as an excuse to buy the Macbook Air (about
double the price) I've been hankering after is strong. I've switched
to Mac for just about everything else. What's stopping me, in addition
to cost, is the issue of loading XP onto Parallels, as I don't have
an XP disk.
