Install Vista first. During the installation of OpenSUSE, you will be prompted if you would like to partition the hard drive to make room for OpenSUSE, or format the drive entirely for OpenSUSE. Make a partition of at least 6 GB, plus a swap partition of 1 GB. The installer will automatically install a bootloader known as GRUB, which can boot Vista or OpenSUSE at your choosing.
Dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu is easy! If you already have Windows installed on your computer, insert the Ubuntu live-CD, reboot into the CD, and follow the on-screen instructions (selecting "Install along side another operating system" when prompted), and you're ready to go!

Can you have windows vista windows 7 and Ubuntu running on one same laptop?
Any version of Windows and Ubuntu is no problem. I'm unaware of all the issues that might surround a Windows 7 / Vista dual-boot, but adding Ubuntu into the mix shouldn't cause any problems, provided the two versions of Windows are cooperating.

How do you handle the multiple operating system such as vista and ubuntu?
You have to install both operating systems to get a 'dual boot' system. I would suggest installing vista first, then installing ubuntu. Doing it the other way around will mean that the ubuntu installation will not be recognized after you install Vista, so do the Vista install first.The Ubuntu Grub loader will be able to recognize the Vista partition and should present you with a menu when you boot the machine as to which operating system you want to use.The easiest approach to this would be to install Vista on one partition and ubuntu on a different partition of your hard drive.

When you install Ubuntu on Windows using VMWare how can you make sure that Ubuntu appears on the boot screen so that you can choose the OS at boot time?
You can't. You aren't running Ubuntu directly on the hardware, but in a virtual machine. The virtual machine requires you to boot into Windows before you can start it. I am not aware of any options for Windows that would let you boot and start only a single application separately from another boot entry.
