Hi guys :)

I'm wanting to dual boot again, been running Vista 32 & 64bit for a while. Neotel doesn't like 64bit and I've been forced to downgrade to 32bit :o, sad I know.

Anyway a very good buddy of mine has recommended I dual boot with Win 7. I'm thinking of dual booting XP Pro and Vista, while he's joked that if I do this it's like booting between DOS and Vista - LOL. Yep he cracked me up :D.

Seriously guys which two would you recommend? I'm not really into Win 7 'cos of obvious reasons, well one being it's still in beta :(. I have three drives 80, 200 & a 320gig HDDs. Should I go triple i.e Vista, XP Pro and Win 7?

I'm also considering using Vistaboot Pro.

Your expert opinion, as always, would be greatly appreciated :)

I'll be posting a thread in the Neotel forum on the 64bit issue.

Thank you all in advance :)
 
why why why? why would you even want to dual boot between windows operating systems? do you need to run anything not compatible with xp? win/linux dual i can understand.
Save yourself the effort and run 32bit XP until win7 sp1 is released. At least all the drivers for everything is designed to work on xp

Thanks guys :)

It seems like I have to attempt another 64bit Vista installation :( Neotel drivers are meant to work on 64bit as well.

Yes Jabberwocky my thoughts as well, I'd rather install Win 7 RTM than the beta releases.
 
If you install any Microsoft operating systems, just don't go against the EULA and install more than 2 Microsoft operating systems on 1 PC now... ;)
 
i quadboot, so what. people tend to believe that whatever they do or limit themselves to, when it comes to software, should be the norm for everyone else. urgh get a grip.
