>>I would suggest that if one wants to perform such a perverse act, they should do it behind a partition so that if some disease is caught, it would be more likely to lessen the spread to the pure Mac side. Or is that how it's done?<<

Yes, that's how it's done. My understanding is that XP won't be able to write to the Mac OS part of the disk. Boot Camp conveniently allows the user to set aside a certain portion of the disk for Windows, but doesn't require the user to first back up, repartition and then restore their Mac files.
