| | Can you dual-boot with upgrade version? If someone buys an Upgrade version of Vista, can they still do a clean install and keep XP on its own partition? Or does it force you to upgrade your XP installation? |

| | Re: Can you dual-boot with upgrade version? Technically you can do this. It does not force you to upgrade your XP install. I have a multi-boot configuration right now with WinXP, Vista x86 and Vista x64 all on separate drives so I can test. Bob S.

| | Re: Can you dual-boot with upgrade version? It can be done: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=5932 Vista will automatically create a dual-boot menu. Some have questioned whether the EULA permits it.
