Well... yes, deleting windows.old won't have an effect on your Vista
install, but... that's where your "old" documents and settings folder is
placed during the Vista install so if you have any data files in docs &
settings that you want to keep... don't delete windows.old before you
move/backup/whatever your docs & settings folder or files therein.
