    Want to run Vista 32 bit, 64 bit and XPPSP2 on it. No problemo with the XP but can 32 and 64 bit be dual booted with a single license? Thanks.

    I would imagine the answer would legally be no since you only bought one OS, and it is licensed accordingly. But I would read the fine print. I don't think you'll have any technical issues, but why would you want three OS's on the machine? Especially three Windows variants I could understand XP and Vista, but XP and Vista-32bit/64-bit? Seems a bit too much -- seems like you would be spending all your time patching the OS :)....Phil
