Any "SystemCommander 2000" users?

Does anyone have any experience with this VCOM multi-boot software?http://www.v-com.com/product/sc2_ind.html I'm kickin around the idea of putting Win2000 and XP on a multiboot system with win98SE.

Overkill!

There is nothing VCOM doesnt do that isnt handled adequately by the operating systems you are trying to install. XP & 2K's bootloaders will take care of any multi-boot that you use. XP ships with its own version of rollbacks. And with regards to undoing partitioning, any cheap freeware utility will allow you to save the partioning schema to a floppy and then restore.

I have been using System Commander Deluxe for several years. Great little program in it's time. I think that it is a bit dated and not as necessary today. I was severely disappointed in W2K/ME support or lack thereof. The OS wizards that they have never worked right for me. I would just load my OS's and then enable SC and use it that way. It is a nice boot manager but I would not buy it today.
