Absolutely. Install XP first and then Vista.* Vista's boot manager will
give you the choice of OS. There is an issue with System Restore when
dual-booting with XP, however. Here is the explanation and some
workarounds by MVP Bert Kinney:

*Make sure you have drivers for all your hardware for each operating
system before you start.
