No, but you'll need to have another partition on your disk to install
it in if you don't want the installation to erase Vista. Be careful
when installing Linux - it's easy to tell it to use the whole disk by
mistake.
Which if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of the popular
ones such as Norton, McAfee, and Trend cause problems in
Windows Mail, although seldom immediately. Some of the others
need to have a custom install that leaves out the part for
scanning email to avoid problems.
