So last day I got around to installing Vista. The last 12 hours have convinced me that this is arguably the worst operating system ever made, and booting back into F17 was bliss. I have not tried Windows 7 very much (only really use Windows at all if Wine will not give me a smooth solution).
Reinstalling Grub with the F17 seems to be broken by the way...grub2-install throws an error. I did not record it unfortunately, but I am assuming it can be fixed. If nothing else, it is not problematic to use an earlier version for recovery unless you need Grub2.
Deceptively simple and elegant
solution, apply the DWPGA rule.
Delete Windows, problem goes away.
Solved problems on our computers.

What license? AFAIK, none of the Windows licenses forbid running in a VM.
Most versions of Windows don't make any provision for it.
this is simply wrong

Licensing the Windows Desktop Operating System
For Windows operating system software licensed through retail (FPP) or preinstalled on a PC (OEM), Windows use
rights are outlined in the Software License Terms that accompany the software. These license terms provide use
rights to run Windows locally on the licensed device in a virtual operating system environment (OSE); however they
do not provide use rights for accessing Windows running remotely in a virtual OSE from the licensed device, and are
limited in other ways when compared to virtualization use rights provided with Windows Software Assurance, Windows
Intune, and Windows VDA licenses acquired through Microsoft Volume Licensing. For example, neither FPP nor OEM
licenses permit remote access to a Windows virtual machine (VM) running in a datacenter. For this, a license
obtained through Microsoft Volume Licensing is required.
