Hi,

Say I want to dual-boot vista and xp. Does anyone know if vista can still "Call Home"
if I only use the Internet when booted in to xp.

Thank you,
Kafuka

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.3

Yes all you need to do is to install the operating systems on two different partitions on your hard drive

Union5,
So you are saying it can still call home? Or that installing on separate partitions will prevent this?

Thank you in advance.

Anyway you must install XP first and then vista to be able to get the option dual boot!
