Yes/no.

It may be a simple question, but the answer is not completely straightforward.

If you re-read attentively first post here:

you should be able to see how you can have as many 2K/XP (and conversely 2003 ) in the same partition and 1 (and one only) Vista :ph34r:/7/2008 in that same partition, BUT you can have more using some other methods and/or using a couple of "advanced" tricks.

(admittedly this is not fully "evident" or "esplicitly stated" but since it is an "advanced" use one would presume that before trying this complex setup will have a couple tries with the tool to get familiar with it and with the docs/howto's )

The new place for the link suggested for the multiple Vista :ph34r:/7/2008 is this one:

http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-usb-drive-that-will-install-vista-win7-and-server-2008

or you can try the newish approach here:

or the even newer one here:

Or you can use a partition entry switcher:

and still use WinSetupFromUSB (limited to up to 99 2k/XP/2003 and one Vista :ph34r:/7/2008 on first partition and another Vista :ph34r:/7/2008 on second partition)
