I actually just removed 7 and my Vista bootloader was still intact. I'm guessing that 7 still uses BCD for the bootloader and just replaced the Vista one, but Vista can still configure it because it's the same.
And to Bare Foot Kid, first problem, I don't have 7 any more (I will buy it when it comes out though). And what are my chances of Microsoft actually listening to my advice? (not rhetorical question)
About Linux, I've always loved computers so I just try to explore and learn about as many operating systems as I can. I've been using Windows for about 9 years now and I've actually learned more about how computers work by using Linux for a year and just trying to configure stuff and install programs than I have from using Windows. I've never had any problems with installing it, Google has been a great help. Not saying that I haven't learned anything from Windows though, it's still my primary operating system.
Edit: is there a way I can send MS feedback without reinstalling it? I'll reinstall it in a virtual machine if I know they will listen to my feedback. How hard is it to add an option of where to install the bootloader? (again, not a rhetorical question)
