Default Can both XP and W7 be run on the same computer?

WET can transfer data files (documents, video, spreadsheets, etc.) and
certain program settings (desktop background, icon size, sound scheme,
etc.) It does not create a dual boot setup.

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.
Thank you.

Hi,
I run Xp on my old computer. I am getting a new computer and I'm going to
install W7 on it. I have
been told you can run both XP and W7 on the same computer?

Any advice?
Thanks in advance. Patti
