I don't suppose you could wipe vista, go with straight Debian, then run vista with something like Xen? I haven't used MS since 3.1 (windows 3.1, that is); just before I wiped it to install OS/2. Back then, windows would fit on a 100 MB zip disk that I could dual-boot into with a tweaked dos boot disk. Them were the days... My condolences.
