Although if you want to dual boot with Vista or Windows 7 you will need
to make the Windows bootloader first on the MBR and use it to chain-load
GRUB. There are instructions for this online.

Otherwise, the Microsoft DRM code will fail to validate and you won't be
able to do things like play Bluray or use MS disk encryption. I'm not
sure Windows will load at all, actually.
