I buy the macbook and then proceed to buy a 200$ copy of windows. It wont install!!! SO i take it to apple and they say they arent allowed to help with anything windows and they really arent even trained on how bootcamp actually works. I started a huge ruckus and said well here is my computer just give me my 2500$ cash back right now .... They ended up taking me in the back and working on the laptop until windows was working right ...

So let me get this right... they told you that you could run Windows (Vista?) in boot camp so you took it home and tried to install it yourself? When you couldn't get it done, you take it back to the Apple store and ask them to install a competitor's product (something beyond the scope of their training) because you couldn't figure it out on your own.
Despite being against their policy, they still took you into the back and got everything working? Sounds to me like they went above and beyond to satisfy a disgruntled customer. Isn't that a good thing?
(off topic - if you want to simply run Windows easily, get a copy of VM Ware Fusion for 90$. Simpler and easier then this boot camp idea, unless you actually want full performance of your hardware - ie games).
