Take a look at Bootcamp in the Utilities folder.

If your laptop has the Intel processor, then yes, it is possible to boot to Windows XP (This is how my Apple laptop is set up) or Vista. If you have the Leopard OS (10.5+), then use the Bootcamp utility to install XP or Vista. If you have Tiger (10.4.* or below), then you need to either upgrade to Leopard or find Bootcamp from a source other than Apple (They don't offer is as a download since the release of Leopard). Hope this helps and Merry Christmas =)
