I am going to be making my notebook triple Booting XP Pro, Vista Ultimate and Linux..

Now I am thinking that the Order of installation should be XP, Vista then Linux.. but I am looking for a second opinion and/or any tips on the best way to accomplish this with few headaches.

You can install in any order.
1. Win family, Linux : Grub detect automaticaly the others OS.
2. Linux, Win family : Grub is overwriter by MBR de Win, must reinstall grub from CD1 in rescue mode.

You can see, the order not affect the results.

Or you could install a third-party bootloader, like GAG , and not worry about the order of installation.

Oh and by the way... Vista is garbage.. I'm testing the msdn final release of Ultimate and wow, worst OS ever.. looks cute though.
