Dual Boot Win7 and Win8?

Gathering components for my new machine. Boot drive will be a Crucial M100 256GB SSD.

It has been so long since I had a dual-booted computer, I don't even know - is it still possible to do this? If so, how is it done?
 
If all I had to do was my own stuff, I would just stick with 7. However, I have a side consulting business and I am getting Win8 questions.
 
I use discreet OS drives via EZ-Swap rack fot Win 7 and 8.1 rather than dual boot. Things are neater and cleaner that way.

Ah, in that case, install 7 first. If you think you might drop one OS in the future, put them on separate drives. If you already have 7 installed, and going with the same drive no worries.

There are several tutorials available online. Here is one:

I see the converter doesn't like that one. I tried.
