Is it possible to install two OEM operating systems on one machine? I.e. Could I create a new machine with both XP and Vista as a dual boot? I know there are problems with dual booting Vista, but just wanted to know if it's feasible? JW

It looks like Vista will alllow under parental control the Admin to set the hours in which a child can use the computer but what if you want to control the number of hours per day and not necessarly care about when as long as it is not after bed? Without a third party package ( which might not jive with Vista) how can this be done. I can't beleive that MS missed a feature like this while...

I'm about to build a new computer. All the parts will be here by tomorrow. Also bought Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Does that OS have a compatibility mode for 32-bit software? Or do I need to run 64-bit versions of everything? Will using the 64-bit version of Vista severely limit what software I can use? Here are some of the programs I can think of now: MS Office 2003

Just saw a laptop advertised on Craigslist stating..."looks like vista" emailed them and he says its XP but look like the Vista GUI, but wont go further. Googled it and found some hits, but curious if there is a "best" one .. Thanks

Anyone had any experience of doing this? Would it be a good idea to remove any IDE hard drives from my system before installing, and then re-connect after? Are there any known issues? Thanks in advance

I've been playing around with Vista for a couple weeks now off and on. This morning I decided to see what my user experience would be if I "demoted" my user account from the Administrators group to the Users group. I did so, rebooted (I had just loaded a new video driver as well), and logged back in. At that point Windows popped up a bubble saying that it had multiple security issues -- no AV and...

How come I can't attach files on my email? and how come I can't transfer files through MSN anymore?

Hi, I'm trying to change the color scheme of Windows Explorer in Vista Ultimate and cannot find a way to do that. This color scheme seems to be just another thing Microsoft designers think they know better than users. Does someone know some tricky way to get rid of annoying colors that Microsoft chose for me? Thanks.

I am a network admin of 2 large domains. I haven't got a copy of business yet but I have Home Premium on my new laptop. I am pretty scared about trying to support both Vista and XP in the same domain because for some reason Microsoft decided that "different" has to be "better" and changed all the folder locations. I use Mandatory Roaming Profiles. I DON'T WANT my users to see their profiles...

Hi Kerry, I'm not sure that people feel 'threatened' (good use of stuff learned in Pysch 101 there, by the way : ) by Vista as much as they might be trying to warn people to save their money and not blow it on an O/S that's not yet quite ready for prime time. You mention Window ME and how the marketplace rejected it. Well, the poor schmucks who did upgrade to Window ME back then lost less...

No major problems with Vista so far, but I'm surprised at some of the bugs in very routine items given the depth of beta testing. I wonder if others have any comment on these, and any others to add. - Folder Options - Open Each folder in its own window This simply doesn't work. The setting is igonred. - Start /MIN command The /MIN parameter (start minimized) fails. (This is not a...
