Could you combine these two migrate-to-Vista strategies if you have  
two hard disks in a Vista-ready computer? I.e., continue to run XT on  
one hard disk and print to your old printer from it, but also install  
and start to run Vista on the other hard disk and print to a new  
printer from it when drivers for it become available for Vista? That  
is, don't switch from XT to Vista, just let Vista gradually out grow  
XT while you gradually learn how to use Vista instead?

Such a migration worked for me on a Mac desktop a few years ago when  
the Mac's OS 9 was succeeded by the Mac's Unix-based OS X, which was  
at first hard to live with, especially in regard to printing. Since  
then the two-hard-drive Alienware notebooks have caught my eye. And  
I'm wondering about the feasibility of trying the same thing with XT  
and Vista on one of them (together with a supplementary image monitor).
