    Just wondering how many OS's you can have through bootcamp.

    I have a Vista X64 and was wondering if I could install another OS?

    You can install one copy of Windows, that's it.

    Officially, the Boot Camp Assistant application only supports the installation of one other operating system. In order to install multiple OSes, it is necessary to do some hacking.

    Oh, so you can't have OS X, XP, and Vista?

    I thought you could, as long as you set up 3 different partitions?
