Re: Q: Vista + XP dual boot
If the editing software you are refering to is not a resource intensive work you are doing then, I would recommend using XP on a virtual machine software. You would run the XP virtual machine on your vista OS.
I have done vista/xp dual boot for a friend of a mine but I am not a big fan of dual boots.
Here is a good refernece though:
