Back OT: I am willing to dedicate 32GB to Linux, if you help me setup the partition and the installation as I have no clue on how to do either.
50MB??? lol That won't get you very far, back when I had Windows 98 that was even insufficient. The general range usually costs me about $1 per GB. Approximately.

Uninstalling is simple too, just go into windows, add/remove programs, and uninstall. Super easy to try, and operates at almost full efficiency. Great for testing Linux and seeing if it is for you.
I would highly agree here, Linux Mint is great, and very easy to install.

Linux mint will use GNOME to set up a boot "Menu" to select your boot OS for you by default. Default timeout is 10 seconds too for you to respond and choose a boot OS, but you can change which one it automatically selects, and you can also change the timeout. Linux Mint is great though. I believe the latest version is still Linux Mint 11, don't go with Linux Mint 10, 11 is better.
