I put XP on both my mini and my MacBook and have since deleted both. Took up lots of hard drive and I really only used it for Amiga emulation. However, if you need it Bootcamp is great.
If you haven't tried it, take a look at Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org). I'm thinking this might be a better replacement for Office than paying for an upgrade....
Congrats on the new Mac!

What you really want is NeoOffice
http://www.neooffice.org. Much better integrated version of OO IMHO.
