Yes and no,! Yes, you install M$ first No, Don't make or format all the partitions before installing FC3, while installing M$ you format its partition and leave the other part (Non partitioned area as it is) then when you install FC3 use that non partitioned (Raw) space for FC3, if you use the reverse order you may loose FC at boot sector since M$ try to come to the first OS in the system Good Luck!
