This will apparently work for vista as well.

this is the best way i found to install 7. on both my tablet and laptop it took just about 20 min from boot to using windows update in windows to finish my install. it was great

If you had a 8GB flash drive, can you set it up to have 2 different versions of the Installation fies? e.g. let you choose between, say, Vista or Win 7 during boot up.
