Really dont understand by the line in title thread ", Which 2 OS'S i have to prefer".
Almost as good as asking with girl you have to prefer and i am sure ,we still would be very much out of ideas.
Get windows 7 for both..32 and 64m, by the well can you please interest us in knowing why you need both environments ?

Thank you very much for suggestion.


actually I am in vfx field ,so i have to use my all media appns in 64 bit,as they can run faster in 64 bit with morethan 4 gb run by using every bite of it,
and about 32 bit all of the major softwares outside my work need it....thats why i need both os's in single system.

Windows 7 has an XP mode so you can use that without the need of installing a new OS on the computer.
