I haven't tried that particular combination, but I've certainly had a 
number of dual-boot (or tri-boot) systems that include Windows and 
Linux.  The key usually is to install the Windows system first, then add 
the Linux system.  All the Linux distros I've used know how to include 
the existing Windows system as a menu option in their boot loaders, 
whereas Windows will just tromp over and existing Linux installation 
without making any accommodations for it.
