I don't suppose you could wipe vista, go with straight Debian, then run
vista with something like Xen?
I haven't used MS since 3.1 (windows 3.1, that is); just before I wiped
it to install OS/2. Back then, windows would fit on a 100 MB zip disk
that I could dual-boot into with a tweaked dos boot disk.
Them were the days...
My condolences.
Doug.
