What happens if you install two different versions of Windows XP next to a Vista installation?

I have Windows Vista preloaded on my computer, then I set up a dual boot between Vista and Windows XP Professional. Now I have Windows XP Gamer Edition and I want to install that too, but I read somewhere that it is “unadvised.”

If I install it then add it to my EasyBCD Vista Bootloader will something bad happen? If so then what, and what can I do to avoid it?

Thanks in advance.

   Try installing the third OS in a separate hard disk and change the BIOS setting for boot priority to this drive each time you want to use this OS.
