Is it possible? I'm a Windows user since my first computer 13 years ago, but OSX, in addition to being much more stable and attractive than Vista, can run some excellent photo and video editing programs that my wife wants to use for her job. But I refuse to buy a Mac because I'm building the gaming PC I've been denying myself for the last 10 years! I would like a system that could dual boot XP and OSX. Can it be done, how would it be done, and how difficult is it? Thanks!

It can definitely be done - I speak from experience. :)

However, it requires modifying a disk image of OSX, which is illegal, so I'm not going to encourage you or tell you how to do it here. What I will say is that a quick Google search for "installing OS X on PC" returns lots of useful results.
