Ok, I have Vista - Ive tried it out, but when i get to that time when I'm too frustrated with it not doing everything I want it to do (yes it is a beta after all) - what is the best way to remove it? Ive heard that the boot loader is hard to change.

I have it on another hard drive currently. I guess i could just format that drive and then change the boot loader some how (seen it elsewhere in these forums)

EDIT: I have found the solution to my problems -

Control Panel -> System (or right click computer) -> Advanced -> in the bottom section Startup and Recovery Settings, press Advanced -> you can change the default OS here and also change the boot.ini -> in Vista i couldnt edit boot.ini directly and if you have problems with doing it this way, make sure you are in vista safe mode. Thats how I did it.
