SuSE 9.0 already works with WinXP-Pro as a dual boot!  I have a 20GB-HDD 
test computer (Dell Dimension C - Japan-only model OEM-made by Acer - 
terrrible design!) that I had WinXP Pro on - taking up the whole drive.  
When I installed SuSE 9.0 - after reading (and I quote from the 9.0 box 
in my lap as I type this) "new: NTFS resizer for the automatic 
installation alongside Windows", I tried it, resized the NTFS-formatted 
disk and now how a dual-boot on that test machine (still trying to get 
that sucker to write Japanese for me....) with WinXP Pro (almost never 
use it though - hate MS with a fiery passion) and SuSE 9.0 Professional.
