I do have a retail copy of Vista. So if I run the Windows 7 set up. It
will ask me if I want to keep Vista installed also? And how can I make sure
that my computer boots with Vista?

In that case! Make sure you backup the partition first as Windows 7 setup
will overwrite the partition with the newly installed OS. These so called
partitions actually contain an image of the system when shipped from the
factory, so if you're not careful you could lose that image, forever. Fine
if that doesn't concern you, but should Windows 7 ruin your system and you
have no way to reinstall Vista or whatever OS you have then the only
option you have is to buy a retail copy and use that to reinstall the OS.
Hope this helps. P.S. in most cases Windows 7 will not destroy yours or
anyone else's system, but with it being a release candidate Microsoft
likes to get themselves covered by being dramatic.

Your second question is a simple no, because the RC is actually the
ultimate edition of Windows 7. I personally found dual booting to be
easy, however each of us is different in terms of skills etc, so the
first one is hard to answer. With me I already had a spare partition so
was able to install the RC into that partition and I successfully have a
Vista/7RC setup.

I am currently downloading Windows7 RC. Is it hard to do a dual
operating system in my computer. Is it hard to do? If so, does anyone
have some type of tutorial that will help me with this? Does Jaws 10.0
standard work with Windows7?
