Dual Boot XP and VISTA

30 points posted to Operating Systems - Multiboot by tom 02/21/07

Due to the problems with Vista, Vista drivers, and Vista software compatibility, a dual boot system with XP and Vista should be the norm. An option should be provided to eliminate one or the other operating system at a later date.

Bring back XP or offer dual boot with Vista on Inspirons and Dimensions

I would buy a new computer from Dell if I could still get windows xp on an Inspiron or a Dimension. In fact I'd buy one of each if I could get a pre-loaded dual boot of XP and Vista!

HP and other hardware companies still don't have full drivers for Vista and several games aren't working well if at all on Vista...so how about offering a dual boot?! Or at the very least go back to offering XP alone on consumer Dells. I'll buy a copy of Vista when the software and hardware companies finally get their act together. It's waaay too early to cut off consumers from Windows XP!
