hey the last installed OS is the one which would give you the option of dual boot. So if you do not want to choose from LILO I suggest that you install linux first and then windows.

I was in a similar position when I first installed Linux. I installed LILO on a boot disk and whenever I wanted to use Linux I inserted the disk in the FDD and booted from it. That's until my disk broke. Then I installed LILO in the MBR and I had noproblems ever since. So, my advice to you is to trust LILO or give the new guy in town, GRUB, a chance. They won't ruin other systems' boot sectors. Other systems will destroy them.
