The other drawback I see here too is that this requires you to have
both legal copies of xp, and an upgrade copy of vista. This could be
quite expensive, assuming you want to go legal of course. Also, this
is fine, as long as it's still possible to buy a copy of xp. However,
once those stop being sold, and you don't have one before that
happens, you're probably out of luck.
