Yes. This link to MSDN forums explains it well. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...02000&SiteID=1

If you installed it into the new partition then there should be a list of two OS's to choose from when you start the computer. Did you install Vista into a separate partition?

For me it would be curiosity. However, others will need to look at new technologies (soft. developers), new APIs whatever. Anyway, I'm not installing it...

Not only I don't need it, but long ago ended the time when you should pay a premium for a good OS. I paid a lot for XP, and won't do it again...

I'm too lazy to switch for good now, but I know I will end doing that in the future (today I still need some windows-only apps - read: adobe apps).

this is a well-justified remark here whereas i am not going to pay $300 for a buggy not full-featured (although fuller than xp) piece of software. some of its hidden features like drm protection (not that i use limewire to download music/movies... but still) just don't turn me on. i'd rather be using an OS that i know whats going on under the hood and that also tends to be free, full featured, and more stable.
