In the event i want to remove Linux Mint and GRUB, Leaving Vista, How can i do that?

Linux Mint has a feature called mint4win which enables you to install Linux Mint within windows
You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
mint4win keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
I recommend Linux Mint 6 rather than Linux Mint 7 although here are the download links for both releases
Linux Mint 6

Linux Mint 7

You download the iso. image of either release then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD
Boot in to windows insert the LiveCD you have just created and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where mint4win comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Linux Mint is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Vista or Linux Mint.
Linux Mint can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
Currently running Linux Mint 6 ext3 with Compiz 0.7.0
