What are your windows needs?
I've done a lot with Wine - and Codeweaver's Crossover (was free a few weeks back, but still a bargain)
I would stick with XP. I've yet to hear of any reason to go Vista, and it will slow down anything you are trying to do, from what I've seen.
VMWare Fusion is nearly free ($15AR here until 12/31). I would do that, if you want to really want to virtualize windows. Booting into bootcamp is a pain.
