Well, not entirly, If windows craches, and you to reinstall you'll
also need to reinstall the boot manager, not much work, but still...
Also, there's a small change of the windows filesystem going bad on
the wrong location (where your boot manager is located) and you won't
be able to boot into anything...

I have no idea how grub actually works, you probably need to run an
installer program or boot from a floppy/cd to install it, check the
grub documentation....

On a sidenote, windows(all versions) always overwrite your MBR,
without asking or even mentioning it, that, among others, is a good
reason to install windows first, and whatever other OS next...
