It's a Windows' world

You want to do amateur or power-level computing? Then there is no other choice than Windows! Period. As a Windows user you don't have to spend tons of a money for a Mac PC (sorry Mac guys but Mac is nothing else than an expensive PC now) and you don't have to waste time on forums to learn how install stuff. All that Linux/Mac can offer you can get on Windows and get is better. I spent many years working with Linux but it was always only my second choice. Sorry Linux friends, but I said it.

How to install Win XP on a computer that already has Win 7?

1. Note: If you already have an empty partition to install XP on it, use it and jump to step 2.
Shrink the existing partition (use Computer Management-> Disk Management) to make room for the second partition. For Windows XP you need minimum 4GB. In the space that you just freed, create the new partition. Format this partition as NTFS.

2. Install Win XP. You will see that your computer will boot automatically to Win XP and you cannot access Win 7. Don’t worry.

3. Insert the Windows 7 Installation CD and restart your PC. Boot from CD. It will show you a first menu. Select "System Recovery", and then select "Startup Repair". Reboot again and log on to Windows 7. Windows 7 will automatically recognize the Win XP installation/partition. Done.

You have both operations systems now.
