Windows Vista Business Bonus with downgrade to XP
I guess I was under the impression that both systems would be installed on the computer. This was kind of confirmed when I looked at the CD's and it says already installed.
Now my question is: Is it possible to have both operating systems working on one 1 computer where we can choose which one we want to use?
Do you have to be a techie in order to do this? I would like try Vista but with everything I have heard about it, I'm hesitant on having just that operating system...
Help someone!!! Thanks!

No. Your license is for one of the operating system at a time.
If you want to dualboot, you need two licenses which means you need to purchase either a copy of Windows Vista or Windows XP.

Okay I get this. So what you are telling me is that I need to take the disc that says already installed on my computer called Vista and Format my computer... I just wanted to try it out... Heard different things about it, some don't mind it and others hate it!
Anything I should know before I do this.... I've never installed an operating system on my computer, I've always hired someone to do it. That's why I thought this was coming with both and after a period of time I wouldn't be able to use it.
So is it soemthing that the average person can do install Vista and\or is there something else I should know.
Thanks
