    Triple boot XP, 7 and 8?

    I currently dual boot XP and Win7, and am thinking about trying Win8.

    Is there any way to triple boot so I get the screen I currently do (which offers win7 or a "previous system" ie XP)?
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    Yeah, you can boot as many as you want, just install 8 onto a different partition and i see no reason it wont just add it to the bootloader, if it doesnt you can add it in using easyBCD

    Why don't you use a VM of Win8 rather than having to go through the process of installing. If you don't like it you can just delete the VM from the PC.
