Tip: Install Windows 7 Alongside Windows Vista for a Dual Boot System
So how many of you out there want to test Windows 7 but don’t have an extra machine to do it on? Well, here’s a solution for you from TechNet Magazine.

You do this through the Disk Management section of the Computer Management console on your Windows Vista machine.
For the steps on how to do it, check out the write-up in TechNet Magazine online.
