And Mac offers a discount to all students in college, as far as I know you just have to type in which institution you're affiliated with and they'll give you the discount. Likewise, lots of other online retailers offer discounts through a specific 'education' style store (look on Dell's page and they'll have one).

Just a quick point: With the Intel Macs/MacBooks, you
don't have to emulate a PC environment. Windows will run natively. You can either dual boot, or run a virtual machine.
How ya doing, buddy?
