Duplicate OSs on PC, 32-64

Hello,
I have Windows XP 32bit today, and I want to install the Vista 64bit in
addition to the XP. Is there any problem with that? (I want them both
installed).
Moreover, on January first, will I be able to "Uninstall" the Vista? or I'll
stuck with the beta forever? (If I decide not to upgrade to the Vista).
Thank you,
Hanan.

No problems dual booting, just make sure you install Vista x64 on a logical
partition. When the beta expires, to remove it, you have format the
partition it is installed. You can do this from within XP, but the Vista
boot manager will remain.

Just curious - why install 64 bit version if support is not available - for
example a 64 bit processor? You would not logically be able to compare
OSs - if that is in mind.
Then again if 64 bit processor is available - why not consider XP 64 bit
version?

64 bit processor is available , however, it costs money, and I will need new
drivers etc., but for the vista I agree to take this headache...
