[Casper] Dual booting Macbooks!!!!

Due to powers that be it looks like I must load Windows on all of our Macbooks for one piece of software.  This is a critical piece of software that our users need and there is no alternative, for a long story short.  So, the software company that is in question is offering to pay for 90% of the costs for windows licenses for one year until they migrate their product to a web based one.

So, I must add boot camp, add win xp, add sys prep and the Novell client, and all that stuff.

Can I just take an OS snap shot of Windows with composer?

has anyone used casper to deploy dual booting images?

I would rather not do this but i don't think I have a choice and it is a high priority project so I will be focusing all my time on it.

In the past I have done this with Bombich's software and some of his scripts and successfully deployed a dual booting iMac lab.  However, due to these all being laptops I need to maintain security on them.  Opening up the firmware is not really an option for me.

I could use some feed back, and a glass of whiskey.

Thanks,
