I don't trust Microsoft completely, especially their newer technologies. If I run XP in VPC from Vista or Win 7 I am still relying on Vista/Win7/VPC on having stable use of XP. With Microsoft lately producing unstable products and having to patch and update them frequently, I can get stuck without a stable XP - which is very important for me to maintain my current VFP 9 customers. Therefore I am choosing to go with multi-boot approach where XP will be completely separate from Vista/Win 7. It is more expensive, as I have to buy a multi-book software, but hopefully will buy me a peace of mind.

>>Hi,
>>
>>I want to install a multi-boot and partition software on a Vista 64 PC (so that I can load XP Pro for VFP development). I found two commercial software that do that according to their sites:
>>
>>1. System Commander
>>2. Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0

>>Anybody used one of the above and had good (or bad) luck with using them on Vista 64 for repartitioning and multi-boot?

>>Or any other software you used and had good experience, let me know.

>>Thank you.
