    I just built a dual boot system with Vista and XP PRo on my partioned C drive. If my Vista system got a virus/trojan ect. Would that effect the whole system or just the side that has the infected OS???

    i think that only the os will get affected as most trojans/virus are designed to attack the os.

    Vista having a secure kernel is a tough nut to crack but not impossible. We may say tht it is more secure than XP pro
