I'd say yes, I'm triple booting between XP, V32 and V64. I looked at XP64,
but it didn't intereste me enough as well, but I just wasn't that interested

I'd bet you'd climb Mt. Everest, if you could figure out how to get yourself
away from your computer. Just because a thing can be done, doesn't mean it
should be, or that it's even a good thing. Pick an OS; get a life!

Jeez, you act like Quad booting is rocket science. But even if it was, I
guess it's totally acceptable for people to spend all weekend for several
months restoring some old classic car they like, Or spend all their free
time on the golf course, that's OK because they have a life. But let someone
spend a little time mastering a computer and they are losers who need a
life.

Yes- I have done it many times. Your install sequence is fine - oldest
OS to newest OS is best).
Use a program like VistaBootPro (it's free - use google to find the
download link) to easily clean up the boot entries the way you want
(instead of the bcdedit tool from MS).

So Your preferred flavor of linux doesn't offer any form of a setup Wizard
or help during setup ? A person is just expected to know everything ? I
dont care that much for wizards, but maybe thaa's why Linix isn't adopted
more, if you make it only so a "Master" can install it. Afterall, we're not
born Masters, we're born students
