Is anyone running the Mac Book Pro with only Vista?

I'd like to buy the Mac Book Pro but I don't want the dual boot.
Is there a way to wipe out OS X and then do a clean Vista install?

The Apple Store sales people say that it must be a dual boot but I assume there's a hack around somewhere.

Its possible.

Vista SP1's bootloader can read data from a GUID partition table, used by EFI systems.

Apple's EFI supports BIOS emulation and a traditional bootsector MBR, therefore older Windows OSes are supported as well.

But here is a very simple guide to doing so:
