However much you wish it, I don't think it would even work for two
Windows systems on the same computer.
For starters, Windows expects to be installed to a primary partition.
This protects one Windows system from another installed on the same drive.
With a small boot partition you can have as many flavors of windows that you want and the
system files can exist in the extended partition. Often used to have a beta version or an
older version on the same machine. Coexists with multiple versions of linux. The boot
partition should be the first primary on the drive to the best of my knowledge.
Some complications with VISTA. Microsoft thinks hard drives are infinite and makes a lot
of internal hidden restore snapshots with an extension to the ntfs structure. Apparently
just opening a partition with XP causes those snapshots to be lost (reference microsoft
knowledgebase article on multiboot systems). Feature not a bug ;-)Chances are that this
problem would occur opening a VISTA system partition witn ntfs-3g.
