The older OS should be installed first; otherwise, you'll have
trouble creating a dual-boot scenario without using 3rd-party products.

However, dual-booting is no longer necessary in most situations.

Why not download a Virtual Machine application, such as Microsoft's
VirtualPC 2007 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp?) or
Innotek's VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) and run WinXP and your
legacy applications within a virtual computer. Both are free and work
with Vista. (Microsoft does not support the use of VirtualPC 2007 on
Vista Home editions, but several people have reported that it works just
fine.)

Virtual machines is not able to apply original system performance, is not
trust? vista is good, but some application that related to my job such as
"adobe perimire" could not appear to fast performance on vista, so i need to
use windows xp. its my knowledge. if you know any better tell me.
