See this article : Install Windows XP in Dual Boot with Pre.

I have a system running Ubuntu 9 and would like to install Windows 7 RC on it in a dual-boot configuration. Is there a way to make Windows play nice with grub or am I going to have to install Ubuntu again just to have its boot loader keep control.

The best course of action would probably be to just let Windows 7 install it's own boot-loader since it won't play nice with grub, then boot from the Ubuntu cd and fix grub afterwards.

However can you take that VHD later and load it in Virtual PC? I suspect another sysprep...

The substantial hardware change - from a boot from vhd image and to running in VPC or Hyper-V, or the other way.
Between boot-to-vhd and boot-in-VirtualPC, it's not really practical.
