what software will allow me to use multiple operating systems on my computer? hi i'm looking for software that will allow me to run multiple operating systems on my computer. i've tried VMware but it's not what i'm looking for.i'm looking for something that gives me choices of all the operating systems on the boot screen, and then i get to choose which one i want and then i go. but then there is an issue with partitions. cause WIndows XP uses NTFS and the other linux OS may use Fat32. i don't know. so i guess this software would also have to partition my hard drive so i could allocate memory for only specific OS. can anyone give me more info on this kind of thing? would love any advice or info. it may be more simple than what i'm making it. what kind of partition should i make for linux OS like Ubuntu or fedora?

What is the proper way of removing additional operating systems? Before installing Windows Vista in my partitioned hard disk, I would like to enquire whether I could remove Windows Vista (together with the partition) without affecting my Windows XP (as the default operating system)? When I want to remove Windows Vista in a separate partition, do I just remove that partition straight away? Would that really affect my computer's boot process? Well, I know that Windows would automatically include Windows Vista as an additional operating system in the Windows Boot Manager during system startup after I've installed Windows Vista (using the "custom installation" method instead of the upgrading) from my existing XP. But what do I have to do when I want to remove WinVista with that partition without causing any problem to my XP? Let's say that I have only XP at first, later I partitioned my hard disk and installed Vista. Then, how do I remove Windows Vista together with that partition without causing problems when booting into my XP? Help me, please...

In operating systems, what is the difference between execution time and period? Much of the literature in real-time operating systems has equations with execution time and period as variables (see for example p6 of http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~nutt/CS5473/Papers/stankovic94implications.pdf). What is the difference between the two? The general impression I get is that execution time is the amount of time the actual execution takes, while the period is the rate at which the task executes, but how can you even talk about a period for a task that e.g. executes just once? Am I misunderstanding this? The formatting of the web address got messed up, here it is again: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~nutt/CS5473/Papers/stankovic94implications.pdf
