Yes, you can dualboot between them. Install XP pro first, then Vista.

You can set up a dual boot. You need to have a full version of Vista to stay
legal. Upgrades replace your XP operating system.
 
By the license agreement you cannot dual boot XP and Vista if the Vista
installation is an upgrade based on that same XP version. The XP license
used for the upgrade is subsumed into the Vista license. If Vista is
uninstalled then XP can be installed on it's own again.

If you have a full version of Vista you can dual boot XP and Vista, or with
an upgrade version of Vista if you have two licenses for XP, then use one
for the upgrade and the other for the dual boot.
 
Be careful, though. I have read elsewhere in this group that when XP boots
it will wipe out Vista's restore points, unless you use BitLocker which
comes only with Ultimate.
