| I see a lot of people doing dual boots of XP and vista, or XP and Linux or Vista and linux or any combination of these. My question here is: why? what makes doing things that way easier/better/more efficent? or is it one of those "because i can" things? |

| Because I like Vista and I like XP. I like them for different things - I use Vista when I'm slacking off and XP when I have to work.

| Mainly to "test the water" with Vista, without completely messing up their current XP installation. It is also cheaper to split a hard drive in two rather than buy a new one dedicated to Vista. My System: =/

| Also, some software and hardware will not work in Vista, so a dual boot with XP, solves the problem.
