It'll work if you install Vista SP1 before installing the Linux boot loader
(grub or LILO). there are several articles on google.com about this.
However, It seems to only apply to Vista Enterprise or Premium, I am unsure
about the other versions of Vista.
After SP1 is installed, you should be good, but if Microsoft releases an
SP2, then youll have to reinstall the Vista bootloader.
