Oh yes

Vista Ultimate OEM 32-bit 11.2GB initial install

It only took about 25 minutes. Wow indeed
Dual booting working well.

Everything OK now but I had some trouble getting an audio driver to make my speakers work. The newest (Vista) driver from Realtek gave me sound, but none for the speakers. I eventually found another driver on the Alienware site which works.

I am just finding my way around, but I like it so far apart from the UAC annoyances which I am going to try to configure better. So far it has been kind enough not to actually deny me access to anything, even from XP on the other partition.

It is pretty and very fast, I`d say it is faster than XP. No programs installed yet apart from NOD32 which is sitting quietly in the sys tray and not bothering me at all.

I`ll spare you any more ramblings, bit I like it!!
I`m away to play again.
