OK, I am getting W7 Ultimate. My friend is building me a new computer.
I have just looked at my husband's lap top (Home addition) which
has the Windows Easy Transfer for transferring from WXP.

Does anyone know if by using this Easy Transfer Wizard from an XP
computer to a W7 Ultimate computer I will be creating a "Dual Boot"
for both?

I am confused about "virtualization manager" someone mentioned.
The Easy Transfer program does not mention partitions? Will I be able to run
XP just like any other program? Just don't understand what I will
wind up with.

Do you even know what "dual boot" means? It appears that your intention is
to *migrate* to Windows 7, not to have multiple operating systems installed
and available on the same host.

WET has nothing to do with dual- or multi-booting anymore than you copying
files onto a floppy or CD to put them under a new OS install has to do with
anything about booting.

What is your real goal?
