Default DUAL BOOT - Macbook Pro??

Alright, so basically I've just order my 15" Macbook Pro to use at University next year. I got a Mac because I'm going into film, and need to use Final Cut. I've had my Dell PC for quite a while now, I haven't owned a Mac for about 8 years now, so my knowledge on MAC OSX isn't the greatest.

Getting to the point. I know that it is possible to dual boot Windows OS (XP) on the Macbook Pro, along with the MAX OS. My questions are, is it a dangerous procedure? Could it hurt my new laptop? What are the pros? Cons? and....What is the best way to do it?

I'm just afraid I'm gonna try to get the dual boot set up and screw up my new toy, and I realy don't want to do that. If anyone has some tips or links that could help me out, it would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
