I have a question and is this:

If possible have Windows Vista + Windows XP in the same PC using the boot.ini?. Because I want Halo 2, but uninstall XP and install Vista in my PC... I don't know...!? some software don't run using Vista and I am happy with XP. I don't want install Vista until I have to.

PD: Sorry for my English!!!

Probably better off waiting for SP1\lots of bugfixes, for now, do a partition or use an external drive. Don't ask me how to do it though :wink:.

I have been using for months and for me its just as if not more stable than XP.  Definately more secure.  If by bug fixes you mean problems with drivers, there have been some most are working fine now. 

Bugs and Drivers two very different things.  One is provided by Microsoft, other provided by hardware vendors.

You can make a separate partition for Vista on your current harddrive and then dual boot it with XP. Thats what I do for XP and Linux.

As for going about doing that, just do a quick google search
