Well, if you have a windows machine you don't need boot camp! Unless you

Same here, and really, I already have a windows desktop machine, so I can't
justify an entire bootcamp partition. Beside, 90% or more of the things I'd
do with my mac, I can do wonderfully in OSX. There are only a few things
here and there that I truely *need!* Windows to do.
