It is a documented feature:

http://old-en.opensuse.org/Instlux - This article decribes how to install
openSUSE from inside Windows.

Installing with openSUSE 11.4 Installer from Windows

Choose this installation option if you prefer a smooth transition from
using Windows to using Linux. openSUSE 11.4 Installer allows you to boot
into the openSUSE installation right from a running Windows by modifying
the Windows boot loader. This installation option is only available from
the DVD media. Refer to Section 1.2.3, “Installing with the openSUSE 11.4
Installer from Windows” for details.

If you believe that type of installation can destroy Windows, please report
that in Bugzilla with facts so that it be removed in the future.
