“If you want to test
64 bit you are kind of screwed too, oh wait vmware workstation does that as
well...”
Just don’t like VPC,
do you? :o) What about USB are you looking for? What does
VMWare do with USB that is this vital? I doubt it’s the USB coffee
warmer…
As to the 64-bit
support, I guess that would concern me if my laptop had an x64 chip.
But, then I could use VS 2005 R2.
But, I’m not going to
argue the virtues of VMWare vs. VPC. I Use VPC because it’s what 100% of
the material that I get from internal is supplied on. And, I get about
100 or so DVD’s with all types of imaginable configurations. I’m glad
that you’ve got the time to put together all of these disks, joe. I wish
I had that kind of time.

I am not a big
workstation OS type of person, I use XP only when I must. Longhorn seems to
work ok in a VM.
I do agree that it
isn't the right thing for all situations, but half the people setting up dual
booting blow it anyway. VM is a much simpler solution for most people.
Obviousy if you are doing perf or physical hardware related testing it is
tough. Heck even if you want USB you can't use VPC, you use vmware instead. If
you want to test 64 bit you are kind of screwed too, oh wait vmware
workstation does that as well...

Hehe…. Let me
know how that full-out testing of Vista and Aero Glass is going for you in a
VPC or a VMWare virtual machine.
I agree, dual-booting
is not the optimal method to running different OS’s, but if you want the OS to
have the full machine, rather than the limited virtualized hardware that the
VMs are allowed – I think dual booting still has a very strong place in the
testing / learning environment.
And, make no mistake
– this is coming from a guy that when on the road, has a 250GB external with
nothing BUT VMs with VPC and VS 2005 R2 on his laptop. I love
virtualization…. It’s just not the right thing for all
situations.

I have no clue why it
wouldn't allow you to have different names for the OS and then both can be
joined at the same time, I have done this often. You did use different
directories for the installations right?
Any more dual booting
is going the way of the dodo, the "new" thing is to virtualization software so
you have both instances up and running at once. Look at Virtual PC or VMWare
Workstation.

I have windows xp sp 2 on my machine, I need to test
something so I installed windows 2003 server enterprise edition R2 on the same
machine same hard disk, I can see the dual boot screen and choose the OS, but
I can only login to the domain if one of the OS's is disconnected from the
domain, meaning if I want to login to the windows 2003 I have to go to the
windows xp and disjoin the machine from the domain then restart and login to
the domain in windows 2003, if I want to login to winxp I go to windows 2003
and disjoin it from the domain then restart and join the xp to the domain and
login, locally I can login to both machines no problem. the error is that the
computer account is not found on the domain when I try to login and both OSes
are joined to the domain. I tried to rename the machine name to different
names in each OS but same thing happens. is there a way to do that? (login to
domain using both OS's without having to disjoin?)
