[Ham-Computers] Win Vista Dual-Boot?

[Jay Austin]

Yes you can dualboot XP and Vista. I am doing that on one of my computers
right now with Vista RC2. 

What are the specs of your computer? Vista requires a lot of memory. I would
not recommend less than 1GB to get the best performance. I have a box
running in my shop on a 64 bit platform right now for my customers to see.
For the home user it is a great upgrade. For the enterprise environment, I
would do a lot of testing before I would run it in a production environment.

Greetings to the list.

I'm giving some thought to Microjunk's Win Vista, as I received the 
"we're pretty sure it'll work on your box" message.

Is it possible install it as a dual-boot option w/a pre-existing Win XP 
Home SP2 PC? I Googled it, but after reading about two or gazillion 
conflicting opinions, I thought I'd turn to the experts on this list 
<grin>

As stated above, I have Win XP Home SP2 with all updates as of this 
writing, in addition to Zone Alarm, Antivir & Partition Magic 8.

Hints kinks or suggestions?

Thanks
