The one thing to remember about dual booting the two versions however is the loss of Vista's own restore points. There's a work around to see those preserved however in the guide written by an MS MVP seen at John Barnett's Windows Vista Support: Prevent System Restore Points Being Lost When Dual Booting With Windows XP |
Yes Computer Guru and myself know of this issue with the Restore Points and are working on HnS. Also known as Hide and Seek.
Basically this will hide the XP partition from the Vista partition so that you dont lose your restore points. Guru is about to release teh first Beta after going thru the first 34 alpha builds with me and a few other people working out as many of the bugs as we can before Beta release.
Even without that we have a workaround as well booting with NeoGRUB. It does this trick as well. Where you can hide 2 or more partitions from Vista so that you keep your restore points.
So there has been a lot of work done since Vista was released to get these quirks that M$ programmed into Vista fixed.
