I suggest that if you do that, you remove the virtuall computer afterwards. In my point of view, you should run linux and there use Vmware or any other emulate software to run windows. Windows needs restart when it's only required with logoff in linux. And logoff, startup and shutdown works much faster in linux than in windows.

The linux installer on the site I linked to also includes a choise between grub and lilo boot, which is boot loaders. You can start windows, linux, etc by default and choose from a list what you want to start. You can change default and timeout easily in the control panel in linux.
