But what frustrates me is that I can't shrink my C drive enough so that I can install Windows 7.0 on a second partition.

Yesterday afternoon I completed installing VISTA back onto a second partitino of a hard drive that already had a functioning Windows 7.0 beta on it. Once VISTA was installed Windows VISTA wade the default operating system and placed itself at the top of the list in which Windows 7.0 also lurked. Even after a fair bit of work on VISTA my Windows 7.0 partition is fa more functional as regards devices that actually work than the newly installed VISTA operating system. It is quite interesting comparing getting both going, and it seems to me Windows 7.0 is working out somewhat better in this respect. I also activated a second copy of Windows 7.0 in order to test the Homegroup network functionality and this is the first time I have run into problems with the new O/S. It looks to me like there are still aspects of the documentation to be finalised here and improvements madeto the actual Homegroup feature itself. I can however report that dual boot is completely possible between these two O/S's and that you can change the default via the Windows 7.0 control panel, those who know where it is in VISTA should have little trouble locating it in Windows 7.0 as well.
