I dual-boot my Vista Ultimate with Win7... got my e-mails et up to share
the data files depending on what is booted up. So far, from the short
amount of time I used it, Win7 seems to run rather nicely.

I am dual booting XP on one HD and W7 on a separate HD.
I disconnected the XP drive and then installed W7
I use the F12 key during the boot sequence to pick which HD to boot
from...you would need to see if your BIOS
supports this option.
W7 works nice.. better than Vista which I have on another machine.

No probs doing it; just a normal dual-boot.

Ask all win 7 questions in the above forums.

I have it in triboot with XP pro and Vista Ultimate.
I don't even waste any time booting to Vista, it is a pig compared to either
XP or W7 on the same hardware.
The only issue I have with it is no driver for the ancient sound card.

Yes, it's a very lame imitation of Ubuntu. For the real thing that isn't
in BETA, needs no activation and is basically immune from malware, go to
http://www.ubuntu.com/

Alias's love of unbuntu does not seem to be shared by many others.
