2 OS's on one machine

Yes it can be installed as duel boot.

Just install Windows 7 on an available partition after Windows Vista.

Alternatively, you can use a virtual machine.

which is the better option? how do i create a virtual machine?
 
i thought it was a win7 app. so it's a stand-alone app. can i run XP and Vista using that?
 
Any operating system, it is an emulated PC.
You still obviously have to run your host Operating system, but any OS you want to in virtual will work (most of the time).
 
i am recently not liking Vista hence I am considering the Win7 option to kinda play around with for a while. so all i need is to load the Virtual PC, then download Win7 and run it. I assume there's a wizard os sorts to assist me without making my machine inoperable.
 
It doesn't touch your host OS besides the emulation drivers so there's nothing in VPC that will break your machine.
 
It works in Vista no problem, infact works on 64Bit as host also. Your guest OS needs to be 32bit though.
 
i'm a noob at this as u may have noticed. thx for the help.

I used get bored and list and boot up every OS distro/type on GRUB and that I had on hand which included FreeBSD, Mac OS X, a few Linux distros, XP and Vista. I haven't had the time these days to play around again. Plus the cool thing was the file system support across all of them, so I did have to have everything a FAT partion.
