Google up "Virtual PC"...

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...pc/default.mspx

Anyways, I have a virtual XP installed on this one. I'll try installing SA but I doubt it's gonna work.

Haha I forgot about this. Installing SA atm. IF it works it'd be a cool way to play SA windowed mode.

Haha

I have SA installed atm, but having some problems with SA resizing VM. Installing VM Additions now, that should fix it.

EDIT: Fixed that problem but SA still doesn't work anyway...

In that case, why don't you just dual boot.. Vista and XP.. Win win..

Get linux or one of the other open-source Unixes  They're free and you can run them on the same comp with vista. Hehe.
