    Triple boot

    Installed 7 on a triple boot with XP and Vista.

    Only driver issue i had was with my X-Fi soundcard. Had to run the driver package in Vista compatibility to install them.

    vm would be slow for 7, wouldn't it?
    Rev, did you separate a partition for 7?
    I am thinking on waiting until 7 comes out and just buy and use it directly. Right now I am using Vista Ultimate that I got from the Windows Server 2008 launch. My 1 year license should expire close to the time 7 is released. I might be a month short thought

    I'm running Windows-7 on a VM - it seems to run well.

    Many thanks to egghead for the cool .sig

    With the help of Vista Boot Pro I am quad booting:

    1. Vista Ultimate x32
    2. Win 7 Ultimate x32
    3. Win 7 Ultimate x64
    4. Win 7 Home Premium x64

    All without problems.

    Yep. Made an extra partition on my Vista drive.

    1 x 200GB SATA - XP Pro
    1 x 200GB SATA - 140GB for Vista and 60GB for 7

    I'm running Win 7 within a VM under Virtualbox. It runs fine. But the host system is a Macbook Pro with 4 gb of RAM, and 1.5 dedicated to the VM.
