Dual booting Vista and XP

There are two scenarios with dual booting a machine with both XP and Vista 
(1) XP installed first, (2) Vista installed first.

The link below is to a set of detailed steps that will walk you through the process of setting up a dual-boot machine, where XP was installed first (and you're now installing Vista):

The link below is also to a set of detailed steps that will walk you through the process of setting up a dual-boot machine, but in this case, where Vista was installed first (and you're now installing XP):

What is so beneficial about being able to boot both operating systems? I could understand if you were talking Mac and Windows or something like that, but these operating systems are both Windows. What's the big deal?
