    Dual Boot? You mean having both Win 7 and XP installed on the same computer, and choosing which one you want to use on booting up? How does that work?

I upgraded straight from XP to Win7 and unbelievably my Fujitsu FDX310 ADSL USB Modem still works totally fine, no driver problems or anything. I swear, it looks like it was designed for Windows 95 or something (it wasn't even supposed to run in XP) and when I upgraded I had a mental list of stuff...
