I've got Vista and XP dualbooting and they're both running fine, apart from a couple of problems with Vista:

Sound drivers just would NOT WORK, took me ages to get it fixed. Major pain in the ass.
MSN Live Messenger doesn't work, which is strange because it was working for a short time. Anyone know what might be causing this?

Same idea for me, although I'm thinking of waiting for XP SP3 and having my current box run XP until either the box's or XP's service life comes to an end.

By then Vista SP2 should be out and my next box can run that.
