Yo hammertime--

You won't be downloading XP unless you do it from an illegal torrent or file
share site. But you sure can dual boot it if you do this properly.

Google dual boot vista and xp with vista installed.

many people mix up the term download with install

they do not mean the same.. but the MVP's are so dense and with so little
imagination
that they cannot even imagine that perhaps you really mean "install xp"

A good mvp is keen to pick up these mistakes from people who are not experts
on using computers and are seeking help.
Thus a follow up question should be made for clarification. That is if the
MVP cares and is really interested in helping the posters, in most cases
they just try to snob and make fun of the users if they dont use the right
terms.

Gee if they knew everything they would not be asking questions would they?

Its funny becuase I keep finding mistakes in what MVP's say.. they think
they know a lot.. but they dont.

You may be a good MVP, I have not seen you in here ... the ones in here are
pathetic.. totally pathetic.

You can install XP also, if you have a license for it.
The preferred method is to install the older (XP) operating system first,
but you can install XP after Vista, and fix the boot manager.
