I have a Windows laptop that I use primarily for P3. When it dies, I'm getting a Mac notebook, and until we have a Mac version of P3, I'm going to run through an emulator.

So, either way (bootcamp or parallels) you will need to purchase XP.
If you don't mind turning the computer off and rebooting everytime you want to switch between Win and Mac, then bootcamp is great.
But, if you want to switch back and forth a little easier, parallels is the way to go. It is about $100 I think, and it is much easier to start with it then to try and switch down the road, like I am hesitating doing...
