Running XP in Vista

Jan :\)

Is it possible for me to install XP on Vista using the VMWare, or other such
software?

Yes, both VMWARE, and VirtualBox, think in Virtual PC too.

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate and running Windows XP in VMware
Workstation. Both are running fine. Obviously there are some limitations
using VM software but I haven't had any major problems running XP or any
application which have been installed on the XP/VM combination.

Yes. That's why all the virtualization programs were written. To run
operating systems.

Thanks, Carey. :-) I have both VPC and VMWare, but, was not sure which
might run better in Vista. I have have Vista Ultimate x64 on one desktop,
and the Ultimate x86 SP1 on another desktop and laptop. I was not sure if
the XP Pro SP3 x86 would run in the Ultimate x64 well or not. I have a Mac
Pro with recently installed Leopard and using the VMWare Fusion to run the
Vista Business x86. That is running fine, but, was not sure about the XP on
the Vista side. I have talked to people running Vista with XP on VPC, but,
wanted to double check the reverse.

I truly appreciate your time and help.

Thank you very much for the confirmation, John. That is what I had in mind,
as I have the VMWare Workstation as well, but, was not sure if the VMWare
would run as well in Vista as another like type of software. Especially,
mixing x64 Vista Ultimate with XP Pro SP3.

Your time and help is very much appreciated. :-)

True. However, some may run better under some circumstances than others. I
much prefer to practice the '7 P's' to be sure.

If you run VPC and VMWare on the same box don't try to run them at the same
time unless you disable hardware virtualization in the BIOS or you will get
a BSOD. Other than that I know of no overwhelming advantage of one over the
other unless something in one of the feature sets is especially important to
you, like usb support. Usually that doesn't matter.
