How to dual boot Microsoft windows~(xp) with Vista

摘要

Most new computer systems come with Microsoft Windows Vista preinstalled. the vlsta operating system provides many new features, but suffers from three shortcomings: Lack of support for many devices now deemed legacy; Some applications won't run on Vista; and Vista requires more processing power and therefore your applications run slower. Vista requires that many hardware manufacturers rewrite their drivers in order for the hardware to run properly. Since rewriting drivers costs time and money, many manufacturers have opted to drop support for some of their older products. Let's look at a real world example. I recently purchased a new machine that came with Vista installed. The system it is replacing is used to run my business. It has three printers and several applications needed to perform its daily tasks. Two of the printers were not supported nor would they ever be. Both printers were less than two years old, but if I were to continue using them in my business, I would need to purchase new versions of each.
