Heck you could even just remove OS X entirely if you had to, even without the OS, they're still the best laptops on the market hardware wise IMO.
In fact, hardware tests have shown that that the best laptop on the market at running Windows is actually a MacBook Pro.

Fastest: Apple MacBook Pro
The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year (through 10/25/07) is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows.

Edit: Whoops. How can I forget about my favourite Mac/PC story of all... the one (with pictures) about Microsoft actually demoing Vista to a group of bloggers... using a MacBook Pro.
