   I don't know about Vista, but with previous versions of Windows you can   
   install Linux on top of Windows (provided you partitioned the disk to   
   leave room for Linux).  The Windows installer used to allow you to   
   manually partition your disk yourself and select which partitions you   
   used for Windows.  Once Windows is installed you set up the free space   
   on the disk using the Linux partition manager and install windows.  The   
   last thing is to add Windows as a second os in grub or lilo.  Most of   
   the installers for Linux will detect the windows os on the disk and do   
   this for you automagicly.
