No problem. I use XP Mode for running older XP apps while in Win7 for
the most part, but when doing special testing, it's really easy to set
up a boot to VHD setup. It's quite handy to be able to boot the bare
metal from a VHD -- you don't have to worry about setting up special
partitions for dual booting, you just have to have a big enough
partition to contain the VHD's.
