I would like to install an Update version of Vista on a Mac using boot camp with the trick of a " double" install of Vista as here described.

Will it work ok?

Why would you want to put vista on a Mac????

It should work. I did the double install method for Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade DVD and it worked fine.

Yeah, it should work just fine.

I definitely recommend updating to SP2 as soon as you do the second install.

Well there are some things that I can only do on Windows.

I think he meant that among XP, Vista, and 7, Vista is clearly the worst and most buggy OS of the bunch. If you can afford 7, go for it.
