    I have a vaio Z 598u and I want to have both windows vista and seven on it. But I have heard that it is not possible to have two operating systems on Z series. Does anybody have any idea? :confused:

    That's odd. It is possible on every other laptop in existence.

    I believe it's possible. May I ask why would you want to have both Vista and 7?

    Thanks all,
    I want to have 2 OSs because I want the vista one but it is not fully compatible with some softwares related to my job, and I want to try it with seven.

    Nothing in the Z laptop prohibits running Vista and Win7. Not sure where you heard this from, but it isn't accurate.
