Vista vs XP - Dual Booting

First, let me start by saying I love Vista.  I love the look, I love the search option in the start menu, and I love the added security (read UAC).  For development, Vista seems to work great.  I have never had any issues with it as far as using VS 2005 or 2008.  For VS 2003, I have to run in administrator mode, but that’s not a big deal. Sql Server 2005 runs without issues.  Visual Studio 2008 - no issues.  My antivirus software has no issues.

My only issue with Vista, isn’t really even Vista’s fault.  It’s Dell’s fault.  I own a M1710 XPS laptop.  My video card is an Nvidia GeForce GO 7900 GS.  No matter who I get my video driver from - Microsoft, Nvidia, or Dell, neither of them work very well with many games.  Well, okay, they don’t work with many EA games.  I can run Guild Wars at full graphical awesomitude and have no issues.
