I've just set up a new computer in the office that is supposed have both XP Pro & Vista Business pre-installed - but I can't see an option anywhere to get into Vista - anyone know how?

Sounds like the boot menu isn't being displayed. Need to show it by right clicking on my computer and selecting properties, advanced, settings button for 'startup and recovery' and put a tick in the tick box for time to display list of operating systems.

Lots of info, but here is what I've been reading recently:
Msi Wind Forums • View topic - MSIWindowsx86.iso to 10.5.6 No problems at all !!! UPDATED
This is older information with different source files, but useful none the less.
Paul's complete guide to installing OSX Leopard on your MSI Wind / Advent 4211 - Netbooks @ MoDaCo
YouTube - MSI Wind OSX Install HD

I have an Advent 4212 which I bought from PC World for £280, which is basically a clone of an MSI Wind (but cheaper). I have installed an additional 1GB of RAM in there as well. The touchpad has broken where it could not left click, but hopefully it should be back from repair in the next couple of days.
Windows 7 works fine (prior to the hardware failure) and from the above you can see that OSX works fine as well.
