You just need to install XP first on your PC, then install Vista.
It will auto-detect the presence of XP and create a dual-boot.
In the end you will be able to select the operating system when you turn on your computer.
I would like to add that it is possible to install Vista first and then XP but it's more problematic.
Initially your Vista OS will disappear and we will need to boot off the Vista install DVD and repair the existent installation of Vista then , you guessed it, your XP will disappear but have no fear there is always EasyBCD which you can download free of charge from it's website (google for it) and add the XP boot option with it, it's pretty straightforward so don't worry about it, anybody should be able to do it.
In the end you will able to boot both operating systems.

I've just done mine, but in a different way. First of all i had XP on my machine. Then i installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and created a virtual computer. Through that i installed a version of the Debian. Now i can run them both at the same time and change tasks as you would in XP with the alt+tab (for example).

I bet you bought Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 from your local Microsoft dealership and paid a gazilian dollars on it :)
Anywho thanks for your input, it's a good alternative.
You could have also used: Wmware Server or XEN for an opensource free way out.

So, ya I guess it is possible.
I am pretty sure it woks, but i have no ideea about how you can achieve that.
