I've been reading this article (IE7 renders the page horrificly) for a couple of days and decided to give it a shot.  Overall, excellent article!  Obviously there are certain objects that need to be changed to work for your system but all-in-all, I got it to work.  Triple boot is nice to gain experience in Vista and a linux distro (Ubuntu is my flavor of choice) while still having what you are used to in XP.

You might be wondering why I didn't just use VMware's Free VMware Server.  I wanted to play games on my PC and I am pretty sure the architecture that VMware offers for video does not support DirectX at all (or even well if it does).  Also, the Free VMware server is excellent.  I would suggest getting a second computer and installing it if you can to gain some experience with it.  Large companies have been using VMware's products to get more bang for their buck on their servers.
