Plane Vista. where do I start?

I want to install vista on my computer as second OS and test it a little bit. But I don’t know where and how to start. I taught downloading Vista would be a good start, but noooo. I already downloaded some kind of Vista but it’s no good. It has in it, not just Vista, but tons of other programs. I don’t want those programs I just want pure Vista and service pack 1 and service pack 2 (SP1 and SP2. Don’t have to be included on same ISO or whatever). Also I have notice u can download Vista professional, Vista black, Vista this, Vista that… I do not know what is a difference between those (i can just guess). So I don’t know which i want?
I just want Vista that wouldn’t have any problems with following: Itself, all sorts of programs (I mean, archive progs, burning progs, office… I mean all sorts), networking, games (Ok games are still progs, i know)… and so. U get it guys? I would listen and appreciate every advice. Tnx guys. P.S. Don’t mind any grammatical errors.

You create a new partition or resize your existing partition and create a new partition with the free space you created…Install Vista in the new partition for Dual Boot…
There is no SP2 for Vista…
Try this one..It’s up to date with integrated SP1:
Windows.Vista.ULTIMATE.x86.SP1.Integrated.October.2008.OEM.DVD-BIE

He said he wants to install vista as a second OS..therefore he already have xp installed…Once vista installs it will set the Dual Boot automatically…No need for any OS selector…
