In theory, you still have to buy windows. I have a volume license, as a Microsoft Partner, so for me it is free. If you have a copy of windows from another machine you won't be using, you can install it on the Mac using Bootcamp. Parallels is an option. It was not available last year when we bought the Macbook. Boot Camp was, and it is free. SO, there was no net cost from making the Macbook dual boot. I have heard that windows is somewhat slower in parallels than in Dual boot. The Macbook boots pretty fast, so it has not been a major pain to reboot in the desired OS.
