You don't need a program to dual boot. Windows will quite happily sort it
out for you.

I had no problems installing Vista and dual-booting on my XP Pro machine. I
installed Vista Beta 2 on a separate SATA HD. I have not yet experimented
with printing from Vista.

I wouldn't scoff at third party boot managers too much. XP creates a few
problems for Vista that hiding one from the other can prevent. Mark
Vandenberg and a few others recommend it to prevent loss of Vista system
restore points, for example. I certainly don't plan to dual boot XP and
Vista without such precautions once Vista is out and I start using it in
production.

Maybe I came across wrong. I was not scoffing. Just saying that people do
not NEED a third party program as he suggested.

Nevertheless, unlike XP and earlier versions of Windows, Vista does need
protection from XP and the current MS bootloader doesn't do it.

You seem to know as much about dual booting Windows XP and Vista as you do
the English language.
