In general you don't need to remove Grub from your system. You can just comment out the Ubuntu installation boot partition from the menu, and leave the Vista line alone.
If you wish to remove Grub you typically would need the installation disk or any Windows CD for the fixmbr program to replace the Grub loader, but I would recommend just leaving it alone and doing the commenting out from the above paragraph.

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.

You can remove the partition safely using a tool such as a gparted live cd. You need to burn the image to a CD-rom, boot from that, and remove the partition Ubuntu is installed to. Note: If you installed GRUB to the Master Boot Record of your hard disk, removing the Ubuntu partition could cause booting complications. These should be fixed upon reinstallation of Ubuntu.

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.
