Actually, it isn't necessary to create a restore point to see this. If XP
and Vista are dual-booted, merely booting into XP will destroy Vista's
restore points (and any other VSS related files such as backups, etc).
Booting into Vista does not have the same effect on XP. See my post earlier
in this thread for the explanation.
