As other posters have stated, you can install and run either. More
specifically you can _boot_ to either. You can not "run Debian _from_
Windows."
This is a very important distinction. You have to shutdown Windows and
then boot to Debian. However it is possible to run Windows from Debian.
To do this you need to use some sort of virtual machine like VMware, but
I guess this is going a little bit further than what you want.
