The last thing I had to remove were the boot options corresponding to the Windows Setup program. Windows Vista introduced a new boot loader architecture and a set of commands to interact with the storage system which holds the boot loader configuration: bcdedit. bcdedit is the Windows Vista equivalent of Solaris' beadm. This is good news: no more tweaking ini files.
To view the current configuration you can issue the following command (beware that you must run the bcdedit command in a command prompt run as Administrator):
bcdedit /enum

To remove the Windows Setup boot menu entry I issued the following command:
bcdedit /delete {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}
and the job was done.
