I've been wondering about this lately...

I just picked up a macbook the other day and I need to run Windows XP for a couple of programs that don't have a mac equivalent. I know that I can choose between Bootcamp or Parallels, but if I try Bootcamp first and don't like it, will I be able to uninstall my OEM version of Windows and then install it under bootcamp? Or will I need two copies of Windows XP?
