Hey, I'm planning to purchase a laptop soon for college and I was wondering if I should dual boot vista / xp or just run a clean format with only XP. What are your suggestions in what I should do?

If the partitioned part of the hard drive contains the vista backup should I leave that alone and would I be able to go back to vista as long as I make a back up disk? This option is for windows XP only.

Thanks!
