Vista and Ubuntu 7.04 here. That's mostly because it was XP Pro and Ubuntu 7.04 prior.

I was originally considering doing an Vista / XP Pro in case things didn't work out so well in Vista, but everything seems to be going pretty good so far.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm dual-booting (on a T60p). The W2K3 is giving me more problems, but that's because I boot that only when at home on the Dock, with lots of things attached. Getting a 'clean install' is a challenge. The Vista won't even boot properly on the Dock, as I have an external video card. I'm currently wondering if it's worth getting a V5200 card in the Dock so I can boot Vista there as well, but that card is very expensive.... (Newegg has it for $400) Vista experience while portable is good. Why do you ask?

I have Vista and XP dual booting on one of the HD's for my t60 and had issues with shadow copies and sys restore in Vista.


I had it working for a while too, but decided to ditch the Vista and just go with 2003 Server Enterprise edition, as I needed it to be very stable, really just wanted Vista for the media stuff. It's for MCSE study, practice, hands on, etc. fun stuff :)

2003 runs great that's for sure.
