Actually, if you PLAN for a DUAL-BOOT system, install Windows FIRST...
Because if you install Windows AFTER Linux, the Windows installer will
wipe the MBR and you will have to re-write an MBR... it's a hassle.
Windows tends to behave as if it were the only OS on the machine and
expects to be able to wipe what it wants... Linux does a better job of
keeping an existing OS in a bootable state by installing GRUB and
creating multi-boot entries for you automatically.<br>
