When your computer starts it loads the boot loader in the MBR. That
boot loader is then usually responsible to load a particular boot
loader installed with each individual OS. Right now you probably have
the windows bootloader installed there. You can install grub in the
MBR and have it take over the task of booting the three OS's. You can
also keep the windows bootloader and have it boot linux I think though
I wouldn't know how to configure it.

So basically, if you want grub to be responsible for managing the
booting process, the answer is yes.
