Buy a MacBook Pro with Windows XP Preloaded |

They are sure to point out that they don't support Windows, nor does Apple. There's also a reminder that Boot Camp is still beta software, so it's ultimately at your own risk. A base MacBook Pro with XP installed runs $2029 which is a pretty killer deal, considering it's only $30 more than you'd pay from Apple directly, and Windows XP Pro is like $200 or something like that. Not to mention they're partitioning and installing the Microsoft OS for you too.
This is the first I've seen of this service being offered, but it only seems logical. Especially once 10.5 ships, and Boot Camp [type] functionality is fully supported, and not just a beta situation.

So you could get it cheaper from less reputable sources I'm sure. The point was that a $30 charge is a killer deal to get a second OS and have it installed.
If you know if a better deal, please share with everyone so we can take advantage too!
