Default Multi-Boot Windows xp---> Win7

Anybody muster this multi-boot yet?

Something like:

winxp32
winxp64
Vista32
Vista64
Win732
Win764

Anybody? Is this referred to as a sexy(6)boot? This is my next mini-project

Almost there, gotta burn an Seven_x64 first and install. So far I've got ocaXp32, xpPro32,xpPro64,VistaU32,VistaU64,7x32u

Here is the first menu you are met with within the boot loader:


Then you select "previous versions of windows" and get the second menu within the boot loader:



I know most of you are thinking WTF! WHY? and
Answer: Thought it'd be cool to see and wanted to see what the boot loader could handle. Plus I can test proggies in each os shock

Makes sense to me

XP 32 and 7 32 for benching.

Vista 64 for Desktop usage.

Hmm thats only 3...

Sidenote..

If you weak XP for benching and ant it fully available for otehr things... you can run "hardware profiles"

So for instance you can have print spooler enabled on one account and disabled on the other. Saves some hassle over multibooting I supose. Have not looked to see if it available in Vista or Mojave yet.
