I have to install Windows to run these two programs that I need for work, do you think it is safe to do so? The college I go to has all iMacs and they have both Windows and Mac on them, and they work fine. So should I be OK? Thanks!

installing XP as a dual system does no harm what's so ever, you just split the disk in 2 partitions, one for Mac and one for XP .. . later you can just remove the win partition and get rid of XP easily ... Boot Camp makes it veery easy

at startup you just press alt to choose which system to boot to

after you install, make sure you select your preferred system as primary /either in the boot camp utility in Win or Startup Disk Preference panel in MacOS

also after you install Xp, insert the MacOSX install disk while in XP and install driver support
