    OK, just wanted to make sure I'm not thinking crazy here, and this is possible.
    I've been fooling around with making an awesome Vista USB key. So far, it's got 32 and 64 bit versions of Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate (hey, it's 8GB. Might as well!).
    BUT I want to add in the Windows 7 Beta.
    Are the install.wim files from Windows 7 compatible with a Vista installer?
    Would it even work?
