Does anyone have any experience with running XP & Vista on the same machine? What are the pros and cons?

An open ended question.
Vista's Boot Manager can give awkwardness to the marriage, this program is handy to know about.

Vista cannot save System Restore Points when dual booted with XP, this is by design and there is no fix.
I have been dual booting XP and Vista since Beta Testing days, I haven't hit too many hurdles in that time. Some programs may not work in Vista, so having XP around is a handy workaround.
